MUMBAI: While still dilly dallying with his film Paani, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has taken on another project titled English Mountaineer.

The film is based on mountaineer George Mallory, who was found dead a little way away from the peak of Mount Everest. But many things remain unanswered. Like did Mallory die on his way up to the peak or on his way down? If George did pass away on his way down from the peak, it would‘ve been he and not Sir Edmund Hillary who would be the first man to climb Mount Everest.

The film seeks to find the answers.
