When it comes to storytelling in Indian cinema, change is the only constant. Rishi Virmani, however, believes that one trend will never go out of style—writing stories that are memorable. Known for his knack for weaving intricate narratives and exploring unconventional themes, Virmani is set to showcase the legacy of India’s former prime minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, on screen. “Cracking the tonality of the biopic is always crucial. Atal ji’s life was rich and elaborate. It’s hard to decide what must be included, and what must be left out. Due to time constraints, we’ve had to make sacrifices,” says the writer of his muse who was known as much for his love for poetry as he was for his statesmanship.
