Hide quoted text - Noted author and filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee joins debutant director Khushal S. Rathore’s untold story of CA Devendra Jain, based on his book Common Aadmi.
The pre-teaser of Common Aadmi promises an emotionally engaging and inspiring story about an ordinary man who dares to dream beyond the limitations of his circumstances. It was beautifully shot by cinematographer Winston Joses in various parts of India.
Set in the 1980s, the film chronicles the journey of Devendra Jain, a simple man from Pink City who dreams of becoming a Chartered Accountant. Like many fathers of his generation, Dev’s father wants his son to pursue a secure government job, ensuring a stable income and predictable future. But Devraj chooses a different path. His decision to follow his dream, despite going against his father’s wishes, changes the course of his life forever. Because sometimes, the most extraordinary stories belong to the most ordinary people.

Mukherjee shares a decade-long creative association with Das. Speaking about his new role, he says, “I have always accepted challenges in my professional career, and this project offered me an opportunity to explore a new role. My responsibility was to guide debutant director Khushal S. Rathore and his team creatively and ensure that the palette and the narrative walked hand in hand.”
Director Khushal S Rathore says, “I am thankful to Aritra Das sir for trusting my vision. The journey of Devraj Jain intrigued me as a filmmaker because telling the story of a common man is not that easy. Special shoutout to Ram kamal mukherjee for being a support system throughout the process. I hope and pray people enjoy the film as much as we’ve enjoyed making it”
