Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is all set to make a film on the real-life story of Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, and his wife Sudha Murthy. The film is titled Murthy will also be co-produced by herself, her husband and well-known filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, and Mahaveer Jain.
The news was revealed earlier in the day by veteran film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh on his Twitter account. And some time back, the filmmaker herself shared the news in an emotional post on her Instagram account where she also shared a picture of herself with Sudha Murthy.
Sharing her excitement, she wrote, “I keep dreaming that eventually I would want to lead a life like Narayan Murthy and Sudha Murthy. The life choices. Their honest life with integrity is my biggest inspiration. I am filled with humble gratitude to make Murthy. They have trusted me with their iconic story and I can only pray that I keep up to their expectations. This is more than a film. This is life. Thank you Mahaveer ji for being the binding force.”
The filmmaker also revealed the close bond she has began sharing with Sudha Murthy while researching for the film. “I don’t have a picture with Mr Narayan Murthy. But spent hours chatting with Sudha Maa - that’s what I call her now,” she added.
