Thangalaan to reveal why India was called ‘sone ki chidiya’
According to Hindustan Times, the makers of Thangalaan recently released a note revealing the film’s story. The makers confirmed that the movie will answer the question: Why was India called Sone ki chidiya (Golden Bird)?
Thangalaan’s plot follows the story of Kolar Gold Fields, one of the biggest gold mines in the world. Back when Britishers exploited the gold mines in India, they took over 900 tonnes of gold to England. The makers have further claimed that they will explore the real story of KGF and its background.
The makers aim to teach the new generation of India about the country’s history and treasures. Moreover, how people tried to save KGF from the Britishers and yet were exploited by the colonizers.
The movie makers allegedly postponed the movie as they aimed to take it to film festivals. Thangalaan is set to hit the theaters in April 2024.
