The movie also starred Girish Karnad, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Mohan Agashe, Anant Nag, and Amrish Puri, among others.</p>
<p><strong>About the movie</strong></p>
<p>Based on Dr. Verghese Kurien's groundbreaking milk cooperative movement, known as the White Revolution in India, the film was produced by five lakh dairy farmers of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets its products under the Amul brand.</p>
<p>The movie set in Gujarat was funded entirely by 500,000 farmers who each donated Rs 2. Kurien, along with Vijay Tendulkar, wrote the script.</p>

It was also India&rsquo;s official entry to the 1976 Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category.</p>
<p>The premiere of the restored film at Cannes was attended by Naseeruddin Shah, the late Smita Patil's family, the film's producers, and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur from the Film Heritage Foundation.</p>
<p>Shyam Benegal earlier stated his excitement, &ldquo;I was absolutely delighted when Shivendra told me that Film Heritage Foundation was going to restore Manthan in collaboration with the Gujarat Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. Manthan is a film that is very close to my heart as it was funded by 500,000 farmers and was instrumental in the growth of an extraordinary cooperative movement that was aimed at breaking the shackles of economic inequality and caste discrimination whilst empowering the farmers.&rdquo;</p>
