The cast is still being kept under wraps.
For the unversed, C. Sankaran Nair was the former President of the Indian National Congress and a member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council. As the lone Indian delegate, he resigned from the Viceroy’s Executive Council in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He died on April 24, 1934.
