There is something about documentaries, the raw truth in them that appeals to Ravi Bhagchandka, who had created Sachin: A Billion Dreams (2017). But at the moment, he is happy to have taken the route of fictional stories. He is co-producing Sitaare Zameen Par, an adaptation of Campeones (2018), with actor-producer Aamir Khan. Bhagchandka remembers how he chanced upon the Spanish original at the Berlin International Film Festival. “At the Berlin Film Festival 2018, I saw the film’s trailer at the market. It was a sharp trailer. The next day, I went to the screening and liked the film,” he recalls.
