Sudha Kongara – Honoured to be part of Rajkumar Hirani’s first production

“Saala Khadoos” director Sudha Kongara is happy that her first film in Bollywood is being produced by noted filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani.

The upcoming sports film, starring R Madhavan, is based on boxing.

“Raju sir taught me to never give up. I have learnt editing from him. The film and I are lucky to have him watching us over our shoulder,” Sudha said in a statement.

“He has never spoken to me in the voice of a producer, ever. It’s always been with the empathy of a director to a director.”

“Saala Khadoos”, also starring newcomer Ritika Singh, revolves around a coach, Madhavan who is relentlessly pushing his protege to overcome obstacles and achieve her boxing goals.

The film being presented by Rajkumar Hirani Films & Tricolour Films in association with UTV Motion Pictures, will release on January 29.
