Karan Johar is all set to screen the story of this unsung hero. The iconic man in Indian history.

When Dharma Productions and Still and Still Media Collective announced that they would screen the story of Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair, the nation looked at who the man is. This highly venerated figure who was the most influential personality back in pre-independent India somehow went behind the pages of the books with very few people knowing about him. But with the latest announcement made by Indian filmmaker Karan Johar, we felt delighted that the story of this powerful man comes to be known to the world. In this context, we present before you, the achiever of remarkable changes, the lion that roared against the English atrocities before the English Jury in the English court, Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair.

Sir Sankaran Nair was born on 11th July 1857 in the Palakkad district of Kerala in a Hindu Nair aristocratic family. His parents are Manmayil Ramunni Panicker and Parvathy Amma Chettur.
