Oh
My
God
director
Umesh
Shukla
is
all
set
to
direct
a
biopic
on
public
prosecutor
Ujjwal
Nikam.
The
film,
titled
Nikam,
will
chronicle
the
life
story
of
the
man
who
has
helped
prosecute
suspects
in
high
profile
cases
such
as
the
1993
Mumbai
bomb
blasts
and
the
26/11
attacks
as
well
as
the
murder
cases
of
T-Series
founder
Gulshan
Kumar
and
prominent
BJP
lead
Pramod
Mahajan.
Bombay
Fables
and
Merry
Go
Round
Studios
have
acquired
the
film's
rights
to
tell
Nikam's
story
on
the
screen.
National
Award-winning
writers
Bhavesh
Mandalia
and
Gaurav
Shukla
will
be
penning
the
script.
"I
have
been
pursued
for
years
to
write
a
book
or
make
a
movie
on
my
life.
I
was
reluctant
as
I
have
a
huge
responsibility
towards
my
victims.
But
I
agreed
to
collaborate
with
this
talented
team,
as
I
trust
them
to
tell
a
story
that
will
hopefully
inspire
and
do
justice
to
what
we
have
fought
for," Nikam
said
in
a
statement.
Shukla
said
he
looks
forward
to
telling
Nikam's
story
on
the
big
screen.
"We
are
thrilled
to
be
making
a
movie
on
the
life
of
such
a
captivating
person.
Not
all
heroes
wear
capes,
some
wear
the
black
coat.
And
Nikam
is
a
true
hero.
He
is
India's
avenger,
who
believes
in
justice
and
not
revenge," the
filmmaker
said.
Nikam
will
be
produced
by
Shukla,
Sejal
Shah,
Ashish
Wagh,
Gaurav
Shukla
and
Bhavesh
Mandalia.
