    T-Series, Almighty Motion Picture, and Karma Media Entertainment have joined hands for Cafe Coffee Day founder VG Siddhartha's biopic. It will be based on the upcoming book titled Coffee King: The Swift Rise and Sudden Death of Cafe Coffee Day Founder VG Siddhartha. Pan Macmillan India will be publishing the book.

    Why does this story matter?

    T-Series has also previously produced true stories and biopics such as Airlift (2016), Sarbjit (2016), and Jhund (2022). Almighty Motion Picture recently acquired the rights for the Tata family's biopic, while Karma Media Entertainment had produced Thalaivi. Siddhartha reportedly died by suicide in 2019 due to financial losses and the film is expected to lift the shroud off several mysteries in his life.

    Siddhartha was found dead in May 2019 near Mangalore

    Siddhartha, before facing humongous financial losses, was perceived as a strikingly successful businessman. He laid the foundation of CCD in 1996 in Bengaluru with immediate success. The brand soon became a rage all over India. However, Siddhartha suddenly disappeared on July 29, 2019, and his body was discovered two days later by three fishermen at the Hoige Bazaar beach in Mangalore.
