The film, being directed by SP Nimbawat, is tentatively titled “Honeymoon in Shillong”.

“We gave our consent for the upcoming film on the murder case. We believe that if we do not bring the story of my brother’s murder on the big screen, people will not be able to know who was right and who was wrong?” Raghuvanshi’s elder brother, Sachin, told reporters, Another brother, Vipin, said they want to present the correct image of Meghalaya through the film.

Nimbawat said Raja Raghuvanshi faced a big betrayal after his marriage.

“Through our film, we want to give a message to the public that such incidents of betrayal should be stopped,” he said.

Without revealing the names of actors, Nimbawat said the script of the film is ready.

“80 per cent of its shooting will be done in Indore and the remaining 20 per cent in different areas of Meghalaya,” he added.
