Reportedly,
Viswanathan
Anand,
who
turned
51
recently,
has
given
his
green
signal
to
the
highly
anticipated
project.
Even
though
the
chess
master
had
received
several
offers
for
a
biopic
to
be
made
on
him,
he
had
refused
all
of
them.
But
this
time,
things
fell
in
place
and
Viswanathan
Anand
decided
to
say
yes
to
the
project.
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

Atrangi
Re.
Akshay

Raanjhanaa
actor
Dhanush,
and
Sara
Ali
Khan

in
the
lead
roles
in
the
movie,
which
is
said
to
be
a
romantic
drama.
Aanand
L
Rai
is
joining
hands
with

Rahman
once
again
for
the
project,
which
is
slated
to
hit
the
