Can a single soul change the planet? A ten-year-old child thought so, and thus began the inspirational journey of India’s Recycle Man. Dr. Binish Desai’s life is a path-breaking story of determination, and on the occasion of World Environment Day, NH Studioz has announced that it will now bring this powerful tale to the big screen.
The untitled film will be an expansive biopic on Dr. Desai that begins from his childhood and progresses to his experiences as a young environmentalist. NH Studioz has officially secured the rights for the motion picture. Sources close to the team reveal that the makers are looking at a young and rising face for the titular role.
This will be Hindi cinema’s first attempt at a film that talks about eliminating waste and building a greener country. Another unique aspect of the project is that it will focus on sustainability, with a carbon-negative approach and other responsible measures for the shoot conceptualised by Dr. Desai himself.
Talking about the film, Dr. Binish Desai said, "This movie is for every young kid to know that no matter what your age is or where you come from if you have an idea go for it. Life is all about failures and how we learn from them to overcome obstacles and make our dreams a reality. My journey is not about what I achieved but the challenges, failures and obstacles that came in the way, may it be losing everything, being a gunpoint or being called mad for working with waste. Despite of facing all this, a boy was able to follow his dreams and make them a reality."
Elaborating on why he chose to make this film, producer Shreyans Hirawat, NH Studioz shared, "While the movie is about a young man’s journey towards saving our planet, at its core, it is an inspiration for the new-gen, as to how one can fulfil dreams at any age even without any means, from the remotest places possible."
From a ten-year-old boy with a dream to a man who made that dream come true; Dr. Binish’s life is one that will make every Indian proud. Seems like audiences have a spellbinding biopic to look forward to!
