It was not easy for Rahul Bose to helm a biopic on Indian mountaineer Malavath Purna. The 48-year-old actor-filmmaker says he almost lived in isolation during the making of the movie. ‘Poorna’ is the true story of a 13-year-old tribal girl from Telangana who created history in 2014 by becoming the youngest girl in the world to scale the Mount Everest.
“I had been working for ‘Poorna’ for the last 14 months. I did not step out of my cave in these months. I completely went into isolation. I am obsessed with the project and I haven’t signed on anything [other film] else yet,” Rahul said.
With the film, the ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ actor is returning to direction after a gap of 15 years and becoming producer for the first time. He previously directed films like ‘Everybody Says I’m Fine!’ and ‘The Whisperers’.
