"Mathematical Dreams: Eklavya Productions' R.S. Prasanna Set to Bring Legendary Indian Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan's Story to Life as a Global Collaboration"
Director R.S. Prasanna, fresh off the success of Aamir Khan starrer "Sitaare Zameen Par," is set to bring the extraordinary story of Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan to life on the big screen through his banner Eklavya Productions. The film, titled "Dreams of Ramanujan," promises to be a unique and thrilling biopic that interweaves Ramanujan's historical journey with present-day applications of his groundbreaking mathematics.
According to Prasanna, he has always been fascinated by Ramanujan's story since his school days in Chennai. He recalls being captivated by the mathematician's fascinating life story, from poverty-stricken South India to Cambridge University, where he collaborated with British mathematician G.H. Hardy. Now, with recent scientific discoveries sparking a renewed interest in Ramanujan's work, Prasanna sees an opportunity to create a biopic that not only celebrates Ramanujan's genius but also makes mathematics accessible and visually exciting for mainstream audiences.
"Dreams of Ramanujan" is set to be produced as a global collaboration between Indian and Western creative teams. The script has already been written by Prasanna, with the director consulting with scientists from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and collaborating with a British writer to ensure accuracy and authenticity. The project aims to structure the narrative as a film that cuts between the present day and Ramanujan's extraordinary journey, showcasing his mathematical genius through stunning visuals.
Prasanna plans to pay homage to Ramanujan's unique perspective on mathematics by rendering moments of inspiration from the Goddess Namagiri Devi in cinematic form. He aims to keep the story multilingual, with a mix of Tamil and English dialogue, reflecting the mathematician's own linguistic background.
The director is maintaining creative control during the development phase before bringing in studio partners. Prasanna believes that "Dreams of Ramanujan" offers a unique opportunity for the film industry to collaborate with scientists and mathematicians, resulting in a visually exciting and informative biopic that will captivate audiences worldwide.
With production potentially starting by the end of 2026 or early 2027, fans of mathematics, science fiction, and Indian cinema can look forward to an epic adaptation of Srinivasa Ramanujan's remarkable story. Prasanna is determined to bring this extraordinary mathematician's legacy to life on the big screen, ensuring that "Dreams of Ramanujan" becomes a biopic on steroids - one that will leave audiences in awe of mathematics and inspire them to explore the infinite possibilities of human ingenuity.

. It's awesome that they're making an effort to bring Srinivasa Ramanujan's story to life with a global collaboration between Indian and Western creative teams. I think it's great that they're aiming to make mathematics accessible and visually exciting for mainstream audiences 
. The idea of paying homage to Ramanujan's unique perspective on mathematics through cinematic form is really cool 
. However, I'm curious about the balance between historical accuracy and visual storytelling. They need to ensure that they're doing justice to Ramanujan's life story without sacrificing authenticity 
. Also, have they thought about how they'll engage with audiences who might not be familiar with mathematics or science? 
this is gonna be EPIC!!! i'm literally shaking with excitement thinking about Srinivasa Ramanujan's story coming to life on the big screen!! 
r.s. prasanna is literally a genius for tackling this project and making math accessible to everyone! i mean who wouldn't want to see the incredible journey of an Indian mathematician from poverty-stricken India to Cambridge University? 
let's be real, we all know how much math rocks (sorry not sorry 
) and ramanujan's work is literally on another level! 
i'm also loving the idea of a global collaboration between Indian and Western creative teams - can't wait to see the stunning visuals and multilingual dialogue! 
let's get ready for the most epic biopic of the century!!! 
. And now they're making it into a global collaboration? That's so cool! I'm loving that they're gonna include some visuals to show off his math skills - I mean, have you seen those fractals he discovered? Mind blown 
. Can you imagine seeing Ramanujan's mind work at the speed of light? 
. And having it set in both India and the West will make it super relatable 
.
Can you imagine G.H. Hardy and Ramanujan teaming up again? 
Genius alert! 
The fact that they're collaborating with scientists and mathematicians is just the icing on the cake 
.
, it's time we break down those barriers 
. I can already see the memes and GIFs going around about Ramanujan's mind-blowing equations 
!
imagine seeing srini's story come to life with all those mind-blowing math concepts 
. have you guys seen the movie "the Imitation Game" 
. If it means we get an epic biopic that'll blow our minds and make us appreciate math in a whole new way... I'm all for it!
, and this one seems like it's gonna be EPIC 
, and I'm loving how they're making math accessible to a wider audience 
. Prasanna's passion for Ramanujan's story shines through, and I've no doubt he'll bring this film to life in a way that'll leave us breathless 
. Bring it on by 2027?
