Filmmaker Siddharth Anand who previously brought audiences Pathaan and War collaborates with producer Mahaveer Jain to produce ‘White’ which will serve as an international film release. The movie presents an intense worldwide narrative centering on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s crucial role to end Colombia’s lengthy 52-year civil war.
Through their partnership with Marflix Pictures and Mahaveer Jain Films alongside Peacecraft Pictures the film will start its principal production phase in Colombia during July this year. Montoo Bassi directs White as the film aims to show a dramatic yet unexplored modern peace-building period by blending authentic historical events with cinematic storytelling methods.
Vikrant Massey Transforms for Role of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Actor Vikrant Massey plays Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the leading role which portrays the famous spiritual leader. Vikrant Massey gained popularity through 12th Fail and The Sabarmati Report but underwent drastic physical changes to portray the revered figure by extending his hair and developing a new appearance.
According to the production team Massey had his first encounter with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 2023 during his role preparation process. The film will be released in both languages as English and Spanish for global viewership while it narrates an uplifting yet previously unknown tale about spiritual negotiations which resolved Colombia’s conflict.
A Story of Peace, Spirituality, and Diplomacy
The story of White revolves around Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s efforts to use spiritual wisdom and diplomacy to bring an end to one of the longest civil conflicts in history. By focusing on this little-known historical event, the filmmakers hope to showcase the positive impact of India’s ancient wisdom in the modern world, bringing a unique perspective to global cinema.
Aside from White, Vikrant Massey also has another exciting project, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, alongside Shanaya Kapoor. The actor’s growing reputation for transforming into diverse characters continues with this film as well.
Other Projects by Siddharth Anand and Mahaveer Jain
Siddharth Anand, who is a producer for White, is also making his debut on OTT platforms with Jewel Thief, releasing on Netflix this week. Mahaveer Jain Films, another major player in the White project, is working on the upcoming fantasy comedy Naagzilla, which stars Kartik Aaryan and is scheduled for release in 2026.
With its mix of historical relevance, spiritual depth, and compelling drama, White is poised to become a landmark international production. The combination of a renowned team, a gripping subject matter, and a transformative lead performance by Vikrant Massey ensures that White will not only entertain but also provoke thought on the power of peace and diplomacy.
