Aamir Khan Productions has announced a documentary on the life and journey of President Droupadi Murmu, with filmmaker and writer Svati Chakravarty Bhatkal set to direct the project.
According to Variety India, the documentary will trace Murmu's remarkable journey from her roots in a small village in Odisha to becoming India's first tribal President and the country's second woman to hold the nation's highest constitutional office.
The film will chronicle the defining chapters of Murmu's life, including the personal tragedies, challenges and setbacks she overcame before entering public life and eventually ascending to the presidency. It will also explore her years in public service, offering a closer look at
the resilience and determination that shaped her leadership.
The documentary continues Aamir Khan Productions' long-standing interest in telling stories rooted in real-life experiences and social change. Over the years, the production house has backed several projects that spotlight human stories while encouraging wider conversations on issues of public importance.
The project also reunites the banner with Svati Chakravarty Bhatkal, who previously directed Rubaru Roshni, the 2019 documentary anthology produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. Narrated by Aamir Khan, the film explored real-life stories of violence, grief, forgiveness and reconciliation, earning praise for its empathetic and nuanced storytelling.
