Bhushan Kumar lately confirmed that preparations for choreographer Saroj Khan’s biopic are in full swing. “We are working on Saroj ji’s biopic which Hansal sir is doing. Directed and created by Hansal Mehta. That’s in the writing stage. In OTT, you have to write a lot, and when it’s a biopic, it’s a lot more,” he shared in an interview.
While particulars about how the story will unfold and who will play the position of the ace choreographer aren’t finalised but, sources inform us that Madhuri Dixit Nene’s identify is being thought-about for a similar. “Writing is still at a very nascent stage and hence nothing concrete has come out. However, the makers are trying to have a series of actors to play Saroj ji in different phases of her life. For example, one girl will play Saroj ji in her younger days, while the other one will play her older version. And Madhuri is being considered for one of these roles.”
The supply additionally explains how there’s a lot to cowl within the biopic. “There are many things to show through the biopic as Khan’s life was full of highs and lows. And that’s why the writers are still deciding which angle to choose to show the story.”
Another supply additionally reveals Dixit’s identify being thought-about for the movie, “6 months ago, there were talks about Madhuri Dixit being the central character. She was also approached for the same. And she is an ideal choice because Madhuri ka career define karne me Saroj Khan ka bahut bada haath raha hai. Most of her popular songs – from Dhakk Dhakk to Ek Do Teen – were all hits courtesy Saroj Khan. Even Madhuri always ensured that Saroj Khan choreographs her. Moreover, both of them shared a very close bond and understanding. It was easier for her to communicate with Madhuri.”
When we contacted Khan’s daughter Sukaina, she shared that no identify is finalised but. “They haven’t decided anything. The team has told me that as soon as they will shortlist the actors, they will come and have a word with the family. And it’s going to be a tough task to cast the right actors. I don’t think they have set their mind on one person,” she shares, including that she feels multiple actor must be forged to indicate totally different phases of her mom’s life.
“You cannot show one person playing her on screen and showing all that she has gone through. We are talking about a 10-year-old who joined the industry, a 17 year old who started working as an assistant choreographer and a legend who was at the peak of her career at a young age of 35-40. We need at least three people who play three different roles and show mom’s journey. I would like Madhuri ma’am to be part of it, but she can probably show the latter stages of mom’s life. For other two characters, we would need other actors. That’s how I want her biopic to be”
That being stated, she clarifies that it’s the makers’ name. “I have been very clear that I do not want to get into the casting process because it’s their job. I am just happy that they have decided to put out the story of a legend like her, who has done exceptionally well not just as a professional but also as a mother, a daughter and a grandmother,” she shares.
Sukaina additionally tells us that to date, they’ve been contacted by the staff to get each little element about Saroj Khan. “A team of journalists came to interview and know ever single thing about her. They have talked to each and every member of the family as well as people who worked with her,” she ends
