The
Commissioner,
a
movie
based
on
Lalit
Modi"s
life,
was
put
aside
after
the
Indian
Premiere
League
(IPL)
scandal,
but
in
a
surprise
twist,
it
is
now
being
brought
back.
The
movie
is
set
to
be
produced
by
Percept
Ltd.
They
have
expressed
interest
in
the
project
even
though
they
were
put
off
by
the
controversies
surrounding
Modi
earlier.
The
Commissioner
will
be
directed
by
Shamin
Desai,
as
soon
as
Lalit
Modi
agrees
to
let
the
film
include
all
that
happened
in
his
life
within
one
month.
The
screenplay
of
the
film
is
now
being
edited
by
writer
Sridhar
Raghavan,
to
include
the
recent
events.
According
to
producer
Shailendra
Singh
of
Percept,
there
have
been
some
important
changes
in
the
project.
He
confirmed
that
Lalit
Modi
had
given
them
the
nod
to
include
all
the
new
developments
in
his
life
and
career
so
they"re
going
ahead
with
their
plans
in
full
swing.
He
believes
that
Lalit
Modi"s
life
was
never
an
ordinary
story
but
now
it
has
turned
even
more
gripping.
He
further
expresses
that
Lalit
Modi
was
and
still
is
a
man
of
mission,
so
his
story
certainly
has
to
be
told.
If
sources
are
to
be
believed,
Irrfan
Khan
will
be
playing
Lalit
Modi.
At
present,
there
is
more
focus
on
rewriting
the
story
and
screenplay,
than
on
the
casting.
Raghavan
has
earlier
worked
on
Rajkumar
Santoshi"s
Khakee
and
Prakash
Jha"s
Apaharan.
