There is an intriguing storyline not just on-screen but also off-screen on India’s first superstar the late Dilip Kumar. He might have left us for his heavenly abode, but his legacy lives on through his brilliant work in cinema. As much as fans admire his movies, his off screen persona was praise worthy and fit for a film as well! This has caught the fancy of Bollywood filmmaker Subhash Ghai who is keen to bring the legends story to viewers in the form of a biopic. 

 

The even more interesting part of this subject is that, the Khalnayak director wants veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan to portray the role of Dilip Kumar in his biopic. This literally translates to a legend playing another legend as per Ghai. Time will tell if Big B takes the offer and brings the story of a fruit seller’s son, who gave rags to riches a true meaning. Subhash Ghai’s commendable work in the past includes films like Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Karz, Meri Jung, Khalnayak, Pardes and many more. Amitabh Bachchan on the other hand, has his hands full with upcoming releases like Brahmastra, Jhund and Runway 34.
