Exclusive: The Scripting Of The Mathematician Biopic Is Very Much In Progess; Says Priti Sinha

Not long before Desimartini.com reported that the biopic on the Bihari mathematician Dr Vashishtha Narayan Singh is in a legal mess precisely because his brother denied all claims of a biopic being made on the former.

Dr Vashishtha’s brother, Ayodhya Prasad Singh issued an official statement saying, “I, Ayodhya Prasad Singh, clarify that Mr. Vashishta Narayan Singh is of unsound mind and as per law, a legal manager is required to deal with his person and property and there is no legally appointed manager yet. My brother Mr. Harishchandra Narayan has applied to the court to appoint him as guardian/manager of Mr. Vashishta Narayan Singh, final order on the same is pending. We would further like to clarify that till there is no legally appointed guardian/manager, no one in our family has the authority to grant any rights with respect to Mr. Vashishta Narayan Singh’s life/person or property. I further clarify that no member from Mr. Vashishta Narayan Singh’s family has granted any rights with respect to Mr. Vashishta Narayan Singh’s biopic to Reel Life Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., or Priti Sinha, and the matter is sub-judiced."             

However, this morning a counter statement quite contrary to the above has been issued by Reel Life Entertainment Pvt.Ltd. stating, “we are producing a film on the life of the eminent mathematician of Bihar, Shri Vashishtha Narayan Singh on the basis of the exclusive rights which have been granted in our favor vide Agreement dated 24.4.2015 to make a biopic on his illustrious life. Further, vide Injunction Order dated 16.4.2018, the Civil Court, Patna has passed an Injunction Order in our favor thereby restraining the family members of Shri Vashishtha Narayan Singh to give the biopic rights to any third party/s.”

Desimartini.com got in touch with Priti Sinha from Reel Life entertainment to understand the nitty gritties of the matter and she affirmed, “We have the court injunction order in our favour and presently scripting of the film is in progress.”

What’s more – Prakash Jha has confirmed to direct the film and the cast and credits are being finalised!

Well, as the good ol’ saying goes – All’s well that ends well – this matter surely hasn’t reached its end and this is just the beginning. Only time will tell whether the biopic is really being made or has had to be shelved for legal issues. Let us all wait and watch!
