Based
on
Bankim
Chandra’s
Anandamath,
the
producers
Shhailendra
Kumar,
Sujayy
Kuttiy,
Krishna
Kumar
B
and
Suraj
Sharma
release
the
motion
poster
marking
150
years
of
Vande
Mataram.
Celebrating
the
glorious
75th
Independence
Day
of
India,
producers
Shhailendra
Kkumar,
Sujayy
Kuttiy,
Krishna
Kumar
B
and
Suraj
Sharma
announced
their
much-talked-about
magnum
opus
1770,
based
on
Bankim
Chandra
Chatterjee’s
Bengali
novel
Anandamath.
Produced
under
the
banner
of
SS1
Entertainment
and
PK
Entertainment,
this
multi-lingual
film
will
be
helmed
by
acclaimed
director
Ashwin
Gangaraju,
who
assisted
SS
Rajamouli
in
Eega
and
Baahubali
(both
series).
He
made
his
debut
as
a
director
with
critically
acclaimed
Aakashvani
in
2021.
“This
subject
was
a
huge
challenge
for
me,
but
with
legendary
V
Vijayendra
Prasad
sir
writing
the
adapted
story
and
screenplay,
I
think
what
we
have
on
paper
is
a
blockbuster
cinematic
experience,”
affirms
the
director
Ashwin
Gangaraju.
“As
a
filmmaker,
I’m
more
drawn
towards
the
stories
which
have
periodic
setups,
bigger
emotions,
the
scope
for
larger-than-life
action
etc
and
this
is
something
that
sits
in
perfectly
for
me.
Initially,
I
was
a
little
sceptical
but
I
spoke
to
Ram
Kamal
Mukherjee
and
after
listening
to
his
vision
I
gained
confidence,” he
added.
“I
met
producers
Shhailendra
ji,
Sujayy
Kuttiy
sir,
Krishna
Kumar
sir
and
Suraj
Sharma
in
Mumbai
shortly
after
that.
We
had
a
prolonged
discussion
on
the
film
and
how
they
want
to
take
it
forward.
Their
warmth
and
attitude
of
working
as
a
team
made
me
connect
to
them
instantly,”
shares
Ashwin.
This
year
also
marks
150
years
of
Vande
Mataram,
the
song
that
appeared
first
in
Bankim
Chandra’s
novel
Anandamath,
which
almost
shook
the
roots
of
the
British
Empire.
India’s
most
celebrated
storyteller
V
Vijayendra
Prasad
who
penned
the
screenplay
says,
“I
feel
that
Vande
Mataram
was
a
magical
word.
It
was
a
mantra
that
was
given
by
Maharishi
Bankim
Chandra
for
a
nation
to
unite
against
tyranny
and
injustice.
In
1770,
we
dealt
with
the
story
of
unknown
warriors
who
ignited
the
fire
of
the
freedom
movement.”
Internationally
acclaimed
author
and
filmmaker
Ram
Kamal
Mukherjee
being
the
creator
of
this
magnum
opus
says,
“I
am
grateful
to
my
producers
for
having
faith
in
my
vision.
I
instantly
liked
the
vibe
of
Ashwin
as
a
filmmaker.
He
came
prepared,
with
his
own
ideas,
that
enhanced
the
narrative
visually.
I
loved
his
film
Aakashvani
and
appreciated
his
skill
as
a
storyteller.
But
the
most
important
aspect
of
1770
lies
in
the
magical
words
written
by
Vijayendra
Prasad
sir,
who
is
known
for
his
unique
ideas.
His
way
of
storytelling
connects
with
the
audiences,
beyond
linguistic
boundaries.
I
am
truly
blessed
to
have
a
passionate
team
like
this.”
Shhailendra
Kkumar
from
SS1
Entertainment
feels
that
this
is
the
right
time
to
make
larger-than-life
cinema.
He
collaborated
with
Suraj
Sharma
from
PK
Entertainment
and
former
Zee
Studio
head
Sujayy
Kuttiy
and
producer
Krishna
Kumar
B
to
make
this
dream
come
true.
“Being
a
singer
from
Jhansi,
we
have
grown
up
singing
Vande
Mataram
in
our
schools
and
colleges.
But
when
Ram
da
(Kamal)
mentioned
the
story
of
Anandamath
and
Vijayendra
Sir
gave
his
version,
I
was
completely
bowled
over.
I
am
grateful
to
Sujoyy
Kuttiy
and
Krishna
Kumar
B
for
making
this
impossible
task
possible.
It’s
not
a
film,
its
a
dream
to
create
one
of
the
finest
entertaining
cinema
for
the
big
screen.
Suraj
Sharma
from
PK
Entertainment
says,
“Being
the
youngest
in
the
team,
I
am
glad
to
be
a
part
of
this
dream
project.
I
am
fortunate
enough
to
learn
a
lot
from
such
experts
and
legends
who
created
such
blockbusters.”
Producer
Sujoyy
Kuttiy,
known
for
making
historical
sagas
like
Manikarnika-The
Queen
of
Jhansi
and
many
other
prestigious
films
under
Zee
Studios,
collaborated
in
1770
because
he
could
see
the
potential
in
the
narrative.
“My
equation
with
Vijayendra
Prasad
Sir
is
beyond
work.
He
is
an
inspiration.
I
was
sure
that
if
I
ever
make
1770,
then
this
has
to
be
written
by
Sir,
or
else
I
am
not
doing
this
film,”
says
Kuttiy.
“Sujoyy
sir
is
absolutely
right,”
seconds
producer
Krishna
Kumar
B,
“A
film
as
huge
as
Anandamath
needs
an
extremely
able
shoulder.
We
have
grown
up
singing
Vande
Mataram,
and
now
we
will
witness
the
birth
of
this
mantra.
I
have
closely
worked
with
Ashwin
and
his
associates,
and
when
Ram
Garu
(Kamal)
narrated
the
story,
I
had
Ashwin
in
my
mind.”
The
film
will
be
made
in
Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil,
Malayalam,
Kannad
and
Bengali.
The
team
will
lock
the
main
lead
before
Dassera,
and
by
Diwali,
they
will
announce
the
cast
of
the
film.
Ashwin
along
with
his
team
has
started
researching
the
period
and
trying
to
create
a
visual
that
is
unique.
