Mumbai, June 10 - Director Sudipto Sen, who recently scored a big blockbuster in the form of "The Kerala Story", will next be directing a biopic of Subrata Roy, founder of Sahara India Pariwar. Jayantilal Gada and Sandeep Singh will bankroll the project.

The movie, titled "Saharasri", was on Subrata Roy's 75th birthday today with the first look motion poster. The announcement video showed a cheque worth ₹250000000000 for 'people of India' signed by Subrata Roy.

Keep your eyes peeled as this tale of resilience and triumph to reveals what is unspoken, unheard & unfathomed".
