Story of Kailash Satyarthi deserves a biopic says Boman Irani

Actor Boman Irani feels people should be aware of the contribution that Nobel laureate and social activist Kailash Satyarthi is making to the society, and says that it would be a good idea to make a biopic on him. Boman is playing a character that takes inspiration from Satyarthi’s life in an upcoming film “Jhalki”.

“I think he is one of the selfless men…People are not aware of his great work. My role in the film is small, in fact, my character comes on the last leg of the film when the little girl ‘Jhalki’ goes to him (the character) in search of her brother who was a child labour,” Boman told IANS over phone.

He added: “So, I think the good deeds of Kailash Satyarthi deserve a biopic, not because he would like to be glorified, but (to highlight) the fact that there is an India out there, and a man is constantly working to make that a better place.” Satyarthi is known for his global crusade against child slavery and exploitative child labour.
