The project, tentatively titled NK 370, is being directed by acclaimed Indian filmmaker and screenwriter Mahesh Narayanan, one of the most renowned names in Bollywood. Produced by Blue Marble Films, the movie will initially be made in Tamil, according to reports from Variety and shared by Motori Dimenticati.

Karthikeyan, who made his Formula 1 debut in 2005 with Jordan, welcomed the news with great enthusiasm: “Motorsport gave me everything. This film will give my story back to the world,” said Narain.
