A social entrepreneur, Kurien founded Operation Flood, the largest agriculture dairy development programme in the world in 1966. The project transformed dairy farming in India to a self-sustaining industry and made the country the world’s largest milk producer.
The film will highlight Kurien’s work as a philanthropist and a visionary businessperson.
Singh had earlier directed Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai (2012), and Toilet—Ek Prem Katha (2017). His upcoming film Batti Gul Meter Chalu, with Shahid Kapoor and Yami Gautam in the lead, will release later this year.
