Matchbox Shots, a Mumbai-based production house, has secured the screen rights to 'The Gurugram School Murder,' authored by journalist Leena Dhankhar. The book recounts the tragic 2017 murder of a seven-year-old boy, known as Prince, at an elite school in Gurugram, Haryana, India. Initially, local police arrested an innocent school bus conductor before the Central Bureau of Investigation implicated a fellow student, who allegedly committed the crime to delay an examination. Director Dikssha Jyote Routray expressed the project's goal to illuminate the darker realities affecting children in urban India, stating, 'What happened in this case is every parent’s worst nightmare.' Dhankhar emphasized that the story goes beyond crime, focusing on the family's ongoing struggle for justice. Prince's father, who continues to seek accountability, highlighted the emotional toll of their loss, stating, 'Our fight has been painfully long, and it will continue until the guilty receive the harshest punishment.' Matchbox Shots is recognized for its previous works, including 'Andhadhun' and is preparing to release 'Operation Safed Sagar' on Netflix.
