Renowned Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan will get a biopic to immortalise her contribution to the Indian cinema arena. Major Indian production company, T-Series, has recently acquired the rights for the film from her children.
The announcement came marking her first death anniversary on July 3 from T-Series owner and film producer Bhushan Kumar.
Bhushan also stated that he will produce the film on Bollywood’s first female choreographer himself.
T-Series bought the film rights from Saroj Khan children: Raju Khan, Sukaina Khan and the daughters of Hina Khan, Saroj's daughter who died.
“My mother was loved and respected by the entire industry but we have closely seen her struggle and fight to become who she was. We hope with this biopic, Bhushanji will be able to tell her story, her love for us, her passion for dancing, and her fondness for her actors and respect to the profession with this biopic," the late choreographer's daughter Sukaina said in a press statement.
Raju added, “My mother loved dancing and we all saw how she dedicated her life towards that. I am glad I followed in her footsteps. My mother was loved and respected by the industry and it is an honour of us, her family, that the world can see her story. I am glad Bhushanji has decided to make a biopic on the graceful Saroj Khan.”
