Dhani Ram Mittal

There is something about criminals and their sheer audacity that make for good stories. Malayalam director Srinath Rajendran, whose last release Kurup (2021) was based on fugitive Sukumara Kurup, would agree. Now, as Rajendran is set to foray into Bollywood, he has found another fascinating chapter of crime. For his maiden Hindi film, the director will bring the story of Dhani Ram Mittal, one of India’s most notorious conmen, to screen.

Srinath Rajendran has helmed Koothara (2014) and Kurup (2021)
