What's the story

Aditya Sarpotdar, who directed the Bollywood film Munjya, recently revealed his plans to make a historical war movie.

The filmmaker, who has established himself in the horror comedy space, will be following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather ND Sarpotdar.

ND Sarpotdar helmed the 1925 silent film, Chhatrapati Sambhaji, the first depiction of the Maratha king on the big screen.

Film journey

Sarpotdar's plans and expertise in different genres 

In an interview with Mid-Day, Sarpotdar said he would love to explore historical filmmaking.

He said, "I am looking forward to doing it now. I did a partly historical series, The Secret of The Shiledars, but I want to do a full-fledged historical war film."

Sarpotdar has earlier helmed projects like the romantic thriller Classmates, the biographical period drama The Sholay Girl, and the zombie-comedy Zombivli, among others.
