Looks like Tigmanshu Dhulia cannot have enough of biopics. After 'Paan Singh Tomar' (2012), he wanted to make a film on tragedy queen Meena Kumari, but since it is being opposed by the late actress' family, the filmmaker has apparently decided on the cinematic adaptation of another icon. According to sources, it is Sam Manekshaw, the country's first Field Marshal, who is hailed as the architect of India's victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war.
