THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Award winning Kerala director T. Rajeevnath has just finished shooting his documentary "Indian Diaspora in the US" that was produced by the State Department and the US-based First Serve International.
The 120-minute film, which documents the success story of Indians who have made it big in the US, will have four episodes.
"I have a big job in hand because I shot 46 hours and now have to edit it to 120 minutes. I have interviewed 36 Indians who are big names in the US," Rajeevnath told IANS.
He returned home earlier this week after travelling 28,800 km through the US in 25 days and interviewing 36 Indians.
The list of those who feature in the film include UN under secretary general Shashi Tharoor, most expensive plastic surgeon in US Raj Kanodia, spiritual guru Deepak Chopra, tennis ace Vijay Amritraj, management wizard Bikram Choudhary, IT giant Kanwal Rekhi, writer Bharathi Mukerji, musician Zakir Hussain, journalist Fareed Zacharia and economist Jagdish Bhagwati.
Also featured are Didar S. Bains, a Punjabi who is called the peach king of the world, and filmmaker Mira Nair.
"The post production work of the film would be done here and the film is expected to be ready for release in July," said Rajeevnath.
