It’s been four years since director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari announced the much-anticipated biopic of Infosys founders Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy—yet there’s still no sign of the film hitting the floors. Fans have been eagerly waiting for an update, and now, the director has finally broken her silence. But will the film ever see the light of day? Let’s find out!
The Big Update: Why Is The Film Delayed?
In a recent interview with News18 Showsha, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari revealed that the project is still in the scripting phase. “We’re still writing that. It’s taking far too long, but I would love to tell their story,” she stated. While she’s deeply invested in bringing the inspiring journey of the Murthys to the screen, the delay has been due to her focus on multiple production ventures.
She explained, “I’m producing a few films. We now have a tie-up with Tips. Ramesh Taurani’s daughter Jaya approached me for this partnership. Such collaborations usually happen between two men in power, but this is how change happens.”
What We Know About The Biopic So Far
While Ashwiny has kept major details under wraps, here’s what we know:
- Genre: Biographical Drama
- Director: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari
- Production Status: Pre-production (Scripting phase)
- Expected Release Date: TBA
- Platform: Theatrical release (Possibly later on streaming platforms like Netflix or Prime Video)
Will This Biopic Be Different?
Unlike typical Bollywood biopics, Ashwiny is focused on making this film more than just a commercial success. She wants it to be a powerful, meaningful story. “No one knows what’s working anymore. We need to ask ourselves how willing we are to tell fearless stories that are commercially viable at the same time.”
When Can We Expect The Film?
If the scripting phase is taking this long, we can expect that the film won’t begin production before late 2025 or early 2026. That means fans will have to wait even longer for a glimpse into the extraordinary journey of India’s most admired entrepreneurial couple.
While the delay is disappointing, it seems Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is taking her time to do justice to Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy’s legacy. If done right, this film could be one of Bollywood’s most inspiring biopics.
