Govind Namdeo to play Morarji Desai in Karim Kedar’s next

Renowned Bollywood actor Govind Namdeo is stepping into the world of crossover films with Karim Kedar’s ‘Solar Eclipse’ where he plays the character of politician Morarji Desai, a former Prime Minister of India.

Solar Eclipse, a film that celebrates democracy,  is an action packed drama that focuses on the lives of the four police officers; the then Director of Intelligence Bureau (D.I.B.), the then Deputy Inspector General (D.I.G.), Central Investigation Department (C.I.D.) – Poona (Now Pune) and the then Deputy Commissioner of Police (D.C.P.) – Bombay. They all are well-aware that Mahatma Gandhi’s life is at stake. What would be their next course of action?

The story is a conspiracy theory, blended with fiction where facts are not available, but based on a solid fact that police was well aware of the plot to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, as stated by Judge Atmacharan, a special judge was appointed for the ‘Mahatma Gandhi assassination case’. This fact was later verified and confirmed by the Kapur commission, that sat and announced it’s findings in 1967, a whopping 19 years after the tragedy.

Apart from this, Namdeo is also working in a film on Anna Hazare helmed by Shashank Udapurkar and another one on the ongoing tragic incidents of farmer suicides, alongside veteran actor Om Puri.
