To direct Ramalinga Raju biopic series

Filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor will bring alive a bilingual series based on the life story of Satyam Computer Services founder B. Ramalinga Raju, who was convicted of corporate fraud in 2015. Kukunoor’s series will be based on Kingshuk Nag’s book, The Double Life Of Ramalinga Raju, and capture the rise and fall of the industrialist. “The Double Life of Ramalinga Raju has been an interesting read and I am delighted to be a part of this visionary project,” said Kukunoor. “The audio-visual medium allows other aspects and layers of the story to be told in a nuanced and engaging manner,” he added. The series, which will be available on SonyLIV, is currently under development and will hit the floors soon. —IANS
