inspired by true events.
Writer &
Director of this film, Srijit Mukherji, has brought forth an insightful story
about the adverse effects of urbanization, man-animal conflict and poverty
leading to a bizarre practice in a village that resides on the edge of a
forest.
Srijit Mukherji,
winner of multiple National Awards, has directed critically acclaimed films
like Autograph (2010), Jaatishwar (2014), Chotushkone (2015), Rajkahini (2015),
Ek Je Chilo Raja (2019) in the Bengali language among others. ‘Sherdil – The

prominent International film festivals like Palm Springs International Film
Festival in California, Abu Dhabi International Film Festival, MIAAC Film
Festival in New York, Glasgow International Film Festival, London Indian Film
Festival among others.
This being Srijit
Mukherji’s dream project, he says, “I am glad to re-unite with Reliance
Entertainment to make ‘Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga’. I got inspired by the real
incident of tragic practises in villages bordering the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
and I knew I had to capture it in my next. It takes great courage to sacrifice
one’s life to save the family and my film revolves around this heroism with a
focus on man & nature conflict. This subject is really close to my heart
and I hope it will ignite the same emotions with the audiences regarding
various social issues in our society.”

Pilibhit Saga’ is presented by Gulshan Kumar, T-Series Film and Reliance
