"The Founder", a film based on the real life of Ray Croc, the founder of famous food franchise McDonald's, is all set to release in India on January 20.

Micheal Keaton plays the titular role of Croc in the movie, directed by John Lee Hancock of "Saving Mr Banks".

After tasting success with Academy Award-winning films like "Birdman" and "Spotlight", Keaton is excited about the film.

"Before this, I knew there was a Ray Kroc but if someone asked, I'd probably have offered the generic response that he started McDonald's. I didn't know there were McDonald's brothers and 90 per cent of the population doesn't know that. I have tried to put this as succinctly as I could," Keaton said in a statement.
 

Aptly titled "The Founder", the film showcases Ray Croc's real life story and how he revolutionised McDonald's from a mere hamburger stand into a multinational brand, spread across 35,000 locations around the globe.

The movie is being released in India via PVR Pictures.
