Irrfan Khan to do a movie based on sister Abhaya murder case

Sister Abhaya’s murder case is the longest standing case in the judicial history of Kerala. Investigation on this shocking murder case is still going on even after 25 years of the incident. A leading production company from Mumbai is reportedly planning to make a movie on based on the incident. Earlier also there have been films based on the Abhaya murder case like Suresh Gopi’s Crime File, which was loosely inspired from this incident.

Sister Abhaya was a Knanaya Catholic nun, who was found dead in a water well in St Pius X Convent in Kottayam on 27 March 1992. Initially the incident was reported as a suicide case but multiple investigations revealed it to be a murder. After 16 years, in 2008, a third team of CBI finally found two priests and a nun responsible for the murder and arrested them.

Ace actor Irrfan Khan is likely to play the lead role in the upcoming Hindi movie. More details regarding this project is not yet known. But the latest news that a movie is being planned on Kerala’s most shocking murder case itself has raised the curiosity among the public.

Irrfan Khan is well known for his terrific acting skills. Unlike his Bollywood contemporaries, Irrfan is someone who is interested in doing realistic films rather than the usual commercial stuff. Interestingly, Irrfan played a crucial role in Talvar, another real life inspired movie, which was based on the Noida double murder case. The movie, directed by Meghna Gulzar was premiered at several international film festivals and even went on to win a couple of National awards.
