Ajay Devgn who is working on post-production and VFX for his upcoming film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior which he is producing with Bhushan Kumar of T-Series is planning to weave more stories around unsung Indian heroes. He is planning to make a franchise and confirmed the same to a leading daily.
Ajay told a leading daily, “When researching Tanaji, I was fascinated by warriors like him who have made significant contributions to our freedom movement. These are stories of valour and I want to bring some of them to the screen. Om (Raut, director of Tanhaji) simultaneously came up with the idea of showcasing the lives of other unsung warriors. The seed was actually planted by him but the thought remained. We should take it forward.”
