Massey has been signed to play the lead in a new international film based on the real-life story of spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The movie will show how he helped end Colombia’s 52-year-long civil war. Directed by Siddharth Anand and produced with Mahaveer Jain, the film is currently in pre-production. “This is a largely untold chapter of modern peace-building. With White, Siddharth Anand and Mahaveer Jain intend to seek spotlight on how ancient Indian wisdom played a pivotal role in resolving one of history’s longest-running conflicts. The film brings lesser known story of peace and humanity on the big screen,” the source revealed.
The source further stated, “Vikrant Massey will undergo a remarkable transformation for his part in White and has already started his process for the same. He has also met Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and is imbibing his body language in real life. The film will be produced in Hindi, English, and Spanish , targeting a global cinema-going audience. The makers aim to dub it in several other international languages.”
Upcoming projects set for 2025-2026
The film 'White' is scheduled to begin shooting in July 2025 and is expected to release in 2026. Meanwhile, Siddharth Anand will be directing 'King,' starring Shah Rukh Khan.
