Renowned director Subhash Ghai says that he’d like to make a biopic on talented singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan.
Mahadevan was a special guest at Ghai’s film school when Ghai was asked which famous personality he would like to make a biopic on. He quickly responded: “Shankar Mahadevan.”
“The environment of our institute has become extremely musical with Shankar’s visit, [he is] spreading positive energy all around. I think the students are extremely fortunate since he shared his various experiences on different forms of music. He even shared the stories behind some of the songs, which was a beautiful experience not just for them but also for me since I too learnt a lot of things from him today,” said Ghai.
Recent biopics from Bollywood that have met with both critical acclaim and box-office success include films on Milkha Singh, Paan Singh Tomar and Mary Kom.
A biopic on Mahendra Singh Dhoni with Sushant Singh Rajput, on Mohammad Azharuddin and on Sarabjit Singh starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are now in progress. And films based on Kishore Kumar and Sanjay Dutt are currently in the pipeline.
