New Delhi, May 27 (ANI): Bollywood director Shoojit Sircar and actor Irrfan Khan will be teaming up again for screen adaptation of Udham Singh. Earlier, the two had collaborated for ‘Piku’. Shoojit Sircar wanted to make a film on Udham Singh since the time he arrived in Mumbai. Although he ended up making some versatile films in the past, this will be Shoojit’s first film on a patriotic martyr.After Bhagat Singh, the work of Udham Singh was one of the major turning points in Indian history. When Shoojit visited Amritsar and Jallianwala Bagh in Punjab during his theatre days in 1995, he got inspired by the story of Singh who killed the then Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, Sir Michael O’Dwyer. The revolutionary did so to avenge the 1919 massacre.Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan is presently suffering from neuroendocrine tumour and is being treated in Europe. Talking about his health, Shoojit said that the actor is responding well to the treatment. Their film will soon go on floors by the end of 2018.
