Sanjay Suri and Onir to produce Chauranga

Sanjay Suri and Onir, who have earlier worked together in My Brother
Nikhil, Bas Ek Pal, Sorry Bhai! and I Am will now be producing a film
titled Chauranga, based on a true story.

Onir will only produce Chauranga and not direct it. The film will be
directed by first time director Bikas Ranjan Mishra. It was small
piece of news about an incident that took place in the Kaimur district
of Bihar that inspired Bikas Ranjan Mishra to make the film. The
incident was reported on November 20, 2008, when a Dalit boy was
thrown under a running train because he wrote a love letter to an
upper caste girl. This incident created quite a stir internationally
but the Indian media never gave much of importance to the incident.

Chauranga tells the poignant story of an uneducated young Dalit boy
wanting to express his feelings to an educated girl. He seeks help
from his brother to write a love letter. The film explores the
consequences thereafter. Sanjay and Onir were so impressed when they
read the script that they decided to produce the movie. The movie will
not have any songs.

The cast of Chauranga is yet to be finalized. Auditions for the lead
role will begin soon and the makers also have plans to cast local
talent from Jharkhand. The shooting of the film will begin in January
next year.
