A preeminent artist-activist of the mid-twentieth century, his banishment by the studios lasted longer than any other performer of the blacklist era — twenty-five years, ending only with his death.
Produced by Atlee, Murad Khetani and Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios and A for Apple Productions, the film is set to release on Christmas, December 25 this year.
