MUMBAI MIRROR (August 1, 2018)

Sushant Singh Rajput is set to essay 12 real-life characters, including political strategist Chanakya, poet Rabindranath Tagore and former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam in a series to be launched next year. The yet-untitled project will celebrate Indian geniuses spanning 2,000 years — from 540 BC to 2015 AD. It will be backed by Sushant’s recently launched venture, along with his business partner Varun Mathur.

Commenting on the endeavour, Mathur said, “These 12 geniuses have made a paramount contribution in forming the India we live in today. Sushant has always been extremely passionate about learning new things and following the philosophies of these people, hence, he decided to bring them to life on screen.”
