We, as a nation, love to see emotional stories play out on the big screen. And biopics tap the very same nerve to bring something new, something about a person people might have heard of but not really known.
Joining the bandwagon of biopics, Siddharth Roy Kapur is set to bring to the big screen the story of Raja Ram Tiwari, a Samaritan who for 70 years of his life helped people trace their family members who got lost in Kumbh Mela, largest peaceful fair in India. The film has been titled as Bhule Bhatke Tiwari.
A source revealed, “It was Umesh (Raja Ram’s son) who shared his father’s story with Sid and his team of writers and it instantly captured their imagination. The film goes on floors in the second half of 2019 and noticeable names from the film industry will form a part of the ensemble cast.”

Intrigued by the life story of Raja Ram Tiwari? Here’s more. The man attended Kumbh Mela for the first time at the age of 18 in 1946. He helped a woman who had gotten separated from her family trace them. The whole experience of this selfless act moved Raja Ram Tiwari to the core. So much so, that for the next 70 years, he kept up with this generous act through Khoya Paya Shivir. In all, he helped about 14 lakh people reunite with their families.
