Rahul Bose’s upcoming biopic on Poorna had a special screening held for our very own Indian cricket team in Pune.
The movie is based on life journey of Poorna Malavath who scaled the Mount Everest at the age of 13.
Rahul Bose was keen to show his film to Indian cricket captain, Virat Kohli, because he believed that Virat would identify with the core of the story.
Rahul went on to share saying, “When I spoke to Virat, he suggested that I speak to Anil bhai (Anil Kumble, the coach) and ask him if all the boys could watch the film with him before their test match in Pune.”
