Filmmaker Prakash Jha on Monday announced he is set to direct a multilingual series on former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao titled Half Lion.

The biographical drama is based on the book of the same name written by Vinay Sitapati. The series will be released in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil in 2023. Jha, known to helm acclaimed sociopolitical films, said hardly a small percentage of today’s generation knows about Rao, the “man who changed India”. Rao served as the Prime Minister of India from 1991 to 1996 and is credited for major economic reforms in the country during his term.
