\nEver since it was announced that celebrated author Amish\u2019s new book, \u2018Suheldev \u2013 The King Who Saved India\u2019 will be adapted into a feature film, there has been intense speculation in the media about who would play the title role. This isn\u2019t surprising, considering the immense success of the book since it was released and the interest it has garnered around the world, especially amongst Amish\u2019s fans.<\/p>\n
Certain sections of the media have reported names of certain actors having been approached, accepted, or having turned down the title role of King Suheldev, despite no such development or official statement coming from the film\u2019s makers.<\/p>\n
To end this speculation, the film\u2019s producers (Wakaoo Films, Casa Media and Immortal Studios) have issued a joint statement in this regard.<\/p>\n
The producers categorically state:<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody has checked with us before carrying these stories, and hence we felt the need to clarify and inform the public about the film\u2019s progress till date. Suheldev is a mammoth project, and also a huge responsibility on us, as we are telling the story of one of India\u2019s greatest unsung heroes.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, the book is being adapted into a film screenplay. Once the script is locked, we will begin the process of casting etc. It would be premature for us to approach an actor before that.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo actor has been approached by us yet for playing the role of King Suheldev. All reports and speculation coming in from certain sections of the media are unnecessary and completely untrue.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuheldev is a film that should be celebrated by every Indian. Once the script and the actors are locked, we\u2019ll officially make a grand announcement. Till then, we request the media to be patient and let us continue with our job of developing this important film.\u201d<\/p>\n
The film is an epic story of the unsung warrior, King Suheldev, who fought valiantly to drive the all-conquering Turkic hordes away from India. The film has its author, Amish, as the official creative producer on the project, and will be directed by the award-winning ad filmmaker Senthil Kumar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
