Roy Kapur Films bought the rights
Siddharth Roy Kapur seems very excited about this biopic. 'We are going to bring the incredible story of one of our national heroes, the great hero Sukumar Sen, to the big screen. This is a proud moment for me. Sukumar Sen has played an important role in shaping the democratic history of India. He gave a system to identify political parties based on different symbols and colors. At the same time, he empowered voters to deal with illiteracy and the idea of applying indelible ink on nails after voting was also his. He is no more, but many of his inventions are still present today' the filmmaker said.
Sukumar Sen's family expressed happiness
Sukumar Sen's family has expressed their happiness about this film being made on the biography of Sukumar Sen. His grandson Sanjeev Sen said, 'One of the biggest successes of India as a nation has been its successful democracy. The foundation of all democracies is free and fair elections. The credit for laying the foundation for this vibrant electoral process goes to Sukumar Sen. Our grandfather was the first CEC of independent India and we are proud of him.
