MUMBAI: A pecularity about Bollywood is that film folks pick a hot topic and to capitalise on the subject are prompt to announce a film. Didn‘t scores of filmmakers register titles on their films based on the 26/11 attacks?

Now to capitalise on the 2G scam, UK-based financier Hiten Gupta of Hiten Group has announced his maiden project, a film titled Radia-tion. The film will trace Radia‘s life as a young entrepreneur who went on to grab national headlines after the 2G scam was exposed.

The film that will be the directorial debut of Satchit Puranik will have Poonam Jhawar playing the role of Radia.

It is said that the film‘s Indian line producer, Manoj Nandwana, was looking for a subject for a Hindi film but wanted to do something different. After a lot of thought, he pounced upon the idea and decided to go ahead with a film loosely based on Radia‘s life since it had intrigue, power and exploitation.
