Ketan Mehta’s Noor Inaayat Khan Bio-pic Is Now An American Film

Ketan Mehta, the bio-pic specialist(Sardar  Patel, Mangal Pandey, Mountain Man) was planning  a bio-pic  on Noor Inaayat Khan ,the daughter Hazrat Inaayat  Khan who was  Tipu Sultan’s great  grandson.

Noor  was a British spy during the World War 2.

Ketan Mehta was absolutely  fascinated by Noor’s story. He had researched  on her for four years and wanted to make the film with Katrina  Kaif  in  the lead.But now  an American  film A  call To Spy featuring Radhika Apte  as Noor has beaten  Ketan to the  finishing  line.

 Interestingly Radhika who has worked with Ketan Mehta in the past , was  Ketan’s second choice for Noor’s part.

This is the second time Ketan Mehta’s  biographical  thunder has been stolen from  him. Quite recently Ketan’s years  of research on  Rani of Jhansi went to waste when Kangana Ranaut took the project to  another  producer  and made her own version of  the historical saga.
