Kunal to play Ram Jethmalani

Kunal Kemmu, his wife Soha Ali Khan and Ronnie Screwvala are all set to produce a film on lawyer-politician, Ram Jethmalani. Kunal himself will play the role of Jethmalani and he says that bringing alive the journey of veteran lawyer-politician is a huge responsibility. The actor admits they were initially unsure about bringing Jethmalani’s story to life, but they firmly believed that it deserved a cinematic adaptation.

Says Kunal Kemmu, “We felt his story needed to be told. Whether as a series or a feature film. There is a lot of trustworthiness as it is not a work of fiction. We needed the rights with us, and it all happened; now it is a huge responsibility on us. The biopic has to be real. You get the rights as you want to say everything that is not in public domain.”
