In a career spanning over seven decades, eminent lawyer Ram Jethmalani has helmed some of the most cardinal criminal cases of the country, his choice of clientele often subjecting him to public criticism and questioning. However, the lawyer, who has been accused of defending a motley group of murderers, crooks and underworld figures, has batted accusations with grace. Now, his lifestory will be adapted for the big screen. Shashant Shah of 'Dasvidaniya' (2008) and 'Sumit Sambhal Lega' (television series) fame will helm the untitled biopic.
