Ramanujan biopic 'Dreams of Ramanujan' to blend past and future
27 Jan
Summary
- Biopic to interweave Ramanujan's history with modern math applications.
- Film will cut between early 20th century India and present day.
- Production for 'Dreams of Ramanujan' slated to begin late 2026 or early 2027.
Director R.S. Prasanna, following the success of "Sitaare Zameen Par," is developing an ambitious biopic titled "Dreams of Ramanujan." This project aims to be a global collaboration, merging Indian and Western creative teams. The film is currently in script development, with production targeted to begin by late 2026 or early 2027.
Prasanna describes "Dreams of Ramanujan" as a "biopic on steroids," intending to weave together the mathematician's historical narrative with the present-day impact of his work. A recent discovery linking Ramanujan's mathematics to quantum mechanics and black hole behavior inspired Prasanna to advance the project. The film will feature a dual timeline, contrasting Ramanujan's journey from poverty in South India to Cambridge University with modern-day relevance.
