There is something about criminals and their sheer audacity that make for good stories. Malayalam director Srinath Rajendran, whose last release Kurup (2021) was based on fugitive Sukumara Kurup, would agree. Now, as Rajendran is set to foray into Bollywood, he has found another fascinating chapter of crime. For his maiden Hindi film, the director will bring the story of Dhani Ram Mittal, one of India’s most notorious conmen, to screen. Srinath Rajendran has helmed Koothara (2014) and Kurup (2021) If you look at Mittal’s crime history that spanned decades, from 1969 to his death in April 2024, his felonies range from stealing cars to something as outrageous as posing as a judge. As a science graduate from Rohtak, who then pursued a law degree in Rajasthan, he served as a clerk for advocates. His first brush with crime was in 1969 when he started stealing cars from the court’s parking lot on a whim. Mittal’s most notorious con was when he forged a leave order of a judge in Haryana’s Jhajjar court and replaced …
