. A source close to the unit revealed, “Murad Khetani has just bought the rights of the film and will be first locking the director before pitching the film to A-list actors.”

'Miracle In Cell No 7' directed by Hwan-kyung Lee is a film about a mentally challenged man wrongfully imprisoned for murder. He becomes friends with criminals in jail who smuggle his daughter into the jail to meet him. The film was based on a real incident that happened in 1973. The story deals with a man who is tortured to confess to the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl.
