Neerraj Pathak announces biopic on Maratha war hero Madhusudan Surve
Writer-producer-director Neerraj Pathak is all set to immortalize the life of war hero Madhusudan Surve and announced a biopic on the life of Maratha Para Commando and Shaurya Chakra awardee. Neerraj expressed that the bravery of the war hero is an inspiration to every Indian and hence his story must reach every one of them. Pathak announced the biopic in Surve’s village of Shivtar. The soldier took 11 bullets for the country and even lost a leg while working behind enemy lines. While deciding on the biopic by honoring Maratha war hero Madhusudan Surve with a shawl, an emotional Pathak said, “India will be free as long as it is home to heroes like Madhusudan Surve.”
He further said, “I have bought the rights to make the biopic of Para Commando Madhusudan Surve ji and am about to start research work. Madhusudan Surve ji is among us, through which we will be able to do research work about him. The film will go on floors very soon and we will talk to some ‘A’ listers of Bollywood, who have not played any commando officer role or biopic till date. Apart from this, we will release the film till next time. There are only winners in a war, no runners-up. A soldier either hoists the tricolor or comes back wrapped in it. Madhusudan Surve’s bravery is astonishing, which is why I took the rights of his biopic.”
