For the last few years, it seems that Bollywood has fallen in love with making biopics. We have seen biopics on personalities like sportsmen, dacoits, revolutionaries and many more but we think the coming years will shed light on the lives of politicians. One such biopic on advocate-politician, Ram Jethmalani is in the pipeline. Ram Boolchand Jethmalani is a 94-year-old retired advocate who has professionally worked for more than 70 years and is the highest paid advocate of the nation. The biopic will be made by actors and real-life couple, Kunal Khemu and Soha Ali Khan. Kunal and Soha have tied up with Ronnie Screwvala to co-produce the Jethmalani biopic, for which a director is yet to be announced. It is in the scripting stage.

Over a telephonic interview, Soha told to a leading daily, “It’s a fascinating life story because Mr. Jethmalani is now 94 years old. He has had a career of over 70 years, and look at the people who he has represented. They range from politicians to notorious criminals… The task is not the story to tell, but the parts we will have to leave out or what we don’t tell. And every bit is exciting.”

“It’s a hard task to make a two and a half hour film. But we have a good partner in Ronnie Screwvala. Once we have a script ready, we will be locking a director, and once we have a captain to the ship, we will go full steam,” Soha added.
