Everyone was interested when 83 producer Vishnu Vardhan Induri revealed last week that he was gathering six National Award-winning directors to work on a single project to make a six-episode mini-series about India’s unsung heroes. Kangana Ranaut and Mohan Lal could be seen as the lead actors in the ‘One Nation’.
National Award- Winning directors like Priyadarshan, Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan, John Mathew Mathan, Manju Borah, Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, and Vivek Agnihotri will be directing ‘One Nation’.
A source reveals, “He has given a narration to Mohanlal, who is impressed by the story. But the two have yet to finalise the details. Meanwhile, Vivek has approached Kangana Ranaut for his segment. The two have been keen to collaborate professionally. The series, given its subject, seems like the perfect platform for the duo to come together. It will study events of the past 100 years, from 1925 to the present day, unearthing stories of little-known local heroes who made huge contributions to the country.”
