The untitled project, which is expected to start rolling by the first half of 2021, will depict Viswanathan Anand's journey to becoming the first-ever Grandmaster of India. The Aanand L Rai directorial will majorly focus on his childhood and three-decades-long career, which includes Anand winning the major international titles. The casting of the project is currently in progress.

Coming to Aanad L Rai's filmmaking career, the talented director is currently busy with the highly anticipated project Atrangi Re. Akshay Kumar, Raanjhanaa actor Dhanush, and Sara Ali Khan appear in the lead roles in the movie, which is said to be a romantic drama. Aanand L Rai is joining hands with AR Rahman once again for the project, which is slated to hit the theatres for Eid 2021.
