The satirical comedy Serious Men, and the crime thriller Hostages behind him, Sudhir Mishra is not set to direct another web series that will be inspired by the books of his grandfather, freedom fighter Dwarka Prasad Mishra. Sudhir, who is currently writing the story, says, “The series is based in the 70s and 80s. My grandfather, DP Mishra, wrote many books and gave them to my mother. Since I am a filmmaker, I could do something with them. I am reading his books again; his trajectory was interesting,” says the filmmaker of his grandfather, who was also the former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, and had penned books like Living an Era: India’s March to Freedom, The Nehru Epoch: From Democracy to Monocracy, The Post Nehru Era: Political Memoirs, and The Search for Lanka.
