/> Distinguished filmmaker Ketan Mehta has an ambitious bio-pic planned for early next year.

He is going to shoot the amazing story of the Bihari 'Mountain Main', the poor destitute labourer Dashrath Manjhi who spent 22 years of his life singlehandedly digging a road into a mountain with a hammer and chisel after his wife died because the mountain prevented him from taking her to the nearest hospital 70 kms away from his village near the town of Gaya.

Inspired by the man's indomitable spirit Ketan Mehta informs, `I've named it The Mountain Man. It's a great heroic inspirational story waiting to be told. I plan to cast a newcomer in the role. No established actor can play this hero. So I've two extremely antithetical bio-pics lined up as soon as Rang Rasiya releases. `
