Another F1 movie on the horizon, this time with the most unexpected star

After the huge success of the film F1, starring Brad Pitt as the lead character Sonny Hayes, a new movie is set to entertain fans — but this time, the main protagonist is a completely unexpected name.

As revealed by Variety, Narain Karthikeyan, who fulfilled his dream of racing in Formula 1 in 2005 thanks to Eddie Jordan, will also have his moment in the spotlight, with a biopic about his life and career currently in development by India’s Blue Marble Films.

The project is being directed by Indian filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan, with producers Faraz Ahsan, Vivek Rangachari, and Pratik Maitra on board.

“Narain Karthikeyan’s journey isn’t just about racing. It’s about belief — in yourself, your country, and a dream no one else can see. That’s what drew me to this story,” Narayanan said when commenting on the news.

“India has some of the most dangerous roads in the world - Ashan added - just surviving traffic here takes skill. But what fascinated me was how someone like NK went from navigating those roads to racing at 365 km/h — a speed faster than a commercial aircraft at takeoff.''

Reacting to the news about the film on his own career, Karthikeyan said: ''Motorsport gave me everything. This film gives that story to the world.''
