Three biopics on legendary choreographer Saroj Khan on the anvil

Days after the sudden demise of legendary Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan, the race to make a biopic on her eventful personal and professional life seems to have begun. According to reports, several filmmakers are planning to make a movie chronicling the rags to riches story of the veteran.

Reportedly, Saroj Khan had discussed the idea of her biopic with a couple of filmmakers in the past, including Kunal Kohli, Remo D’Souza, and Baba Yadav. Now, all three of them are planning to release their version of the choreographer’s story.


“Kunal and Remo were keen on making films, while Baba wanted to make a web series. In fact, some discussions had started with Kunal, but those did not seem to materialise,” a source in the know informs a publication.

The source goes on to add, “Baba Yadav’s wife had approached Sarojji to get a web series made on her life, but she seemed to prefer the idea of a film. It seems she discussed the idea of the film with Remo also because she thought he and she shared a similar career graph, one that began from abject poverty and soared to the heights of glitz and glamour.”

Saroj Khan, who began her career at a very young age, choreographed more than 3000 songs in her stories career which spans across four decades. She had to her credit some of the most memorable songs of Hindi cinema and a number of Filmfare and National Film Awards. Khan passed away on 3rd July due to a sudden cardiac arrest.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
