A tribute to the man who made extraordinary contributions to India’s space and defence programmes

National Award-winning actor Dhanush, acclaimed for his powerful and nuanced performances, is set to take on one of the most significant roles of his career. As per an announcement made during the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, he will portray India’s former President and renowned scientist, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, in an upcoming biopic.

Producer Abhishek Agarwal, known for impactful films like The Kashmir Files, said “This is a dream project for us. Dr Kalam was an inspirational, path-breaking figure, and we’re honoured to bring his story to life with one of Indian cinema’s most talented actors, Dhanush.”

Dhanush is expected to undergo a significant transformation to play the iconic leader.

The film, titled Kalam, carries the tagline “The Missile Man of India” and will be directed by Om Raut, best known for Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Adipurush. Further, details about the film are expected to be announced soon.

A title poster unveiled at the announcement features a silhouette of Dr Kalam with a missile cutting through it — a symbolic tribute to his pivotal role in shaping India’s missile technology.
