Mumbai (Anil Bedag): Indian cinema is set to witness a milestone moment as the extraordinary story of global icon and revolutionary filmmaker V. Shantaram returns to inspire a new generation. The much-anticipated biographical drama will feature Siddhant Chaturvedi in the most transformative role of his career, bringing to life the legacy of the visionary who reshaped Indian cinema.
Chaturvedi shared that portraying V. Shantaram is one of the greatest honors of his life and that the filmmaker’s journey of courage and persistence deeply moved him. Director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande said Shantaram’s fearless experimentation and cinematic vision laid the foundation of modern filmmaking. Producers Subhash Kale and Sarita Ashwin Varde believe the film aims to pay the most truthful tribute to a genius who didn’t always receive the appreciation he deserved.
Presented by Rajkamal Entertainment, Camera Tek Films, and Roaring Rivers Productions, ‘V. Shantaram’ chronicles the filmmaker’s spectacular evolution — from the silent era to sound and color — capturing not just the life of a man, but the soul of Indian cinema itself.
