The personality and work of Lord Birsa Munda has attracted everyone. Efforts have been made to show the struggles of his life through documentaries, films and feature films in other regional languages.
Now filmmakers from the south have also been influenced by Bhagwan Birsa Munda. This is the reason that PA Ranjith, one of the biggest directors of the Tamil film industry, is also making his debut in Hindi films by making a film on the biography of Lord Birsa Munda. PA Ranjith has directed Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kabali and Kaala. He has also directed the popular film Sarpatta Parambrai. The Hindi film to be made on Lord Birsa Munda has been titled ‘Birsa’. Its producers include Shirin Mantri and Kishore Arora. The film will be produced under the banner of Namah Pictures. Noted movie critic Taran Adarsh shared this information on his Twitter handle. On this, the person from Dhanbad has tweeted that every time he went to the station, Birsa would cross Munda’s statue. Didn’t know much about them. Glad now that one of the best Indian filmmakers is going to tell a story that deserves to be told.
Lord Birsa Munda was the father of Ulgulan
Birsa Munda had declared the first Ulgulan i.e. revolution on 24-25 December 1898. Munda fought for the independence of India and for the protection of tribal religion and culture. On January 9, 1899, under his leadership, there was a battle with the British at Sayilarkab, Khunti mountains. At that time a reward of Rs 500 was kept for arresting Birsa Munda. In greed, seven people of the same place, while sleeping in the forest, arrested Birsa Munda and handed him over to the British. He died on 9 June 1900 in Ranchi Central Jail due to poisoning by the British. Birsa Munda could not even complete the age of 25.
