"Taking the story of India's beloved Uncle Pai to a wider audience through a film or a web series is a logical cinematic tribute to the man who introduced millions of Indians to their glorious storytelling heritage," Iyer said.

The production house, Almighty Motion Picture, is yet to confirm whether the material will be turned into a web series or a film. Speaking on its behalf, Prabhleen Kaur said: "It's a dream that has come true for me as I have grown up reading 'Amar Chitra Katha'. More than a project it is something which has been close to my heart, as along with entertainment it was also a source for us to enhance our knowledge."
