The biopic on Bhupen Hazarika will reportedly go on floors by the end of this year
Mumbai:
Filmmaker Prem Soni, who is making a biopic on the legendary musician Bhupen Hazarika, said that the film is complex, complicated and fantastic.
The film chronicles the love story of the late musician and his companion of 40 years, Kalpana Lajmi.
Actors such as Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan and Ranveer Singh were reportedly being considered for the lead role, but Prem has rubbished such rumours.
"We have not thought of any actors. Till the time I don't finish the final draft of the script it wouldn't be right to name any actors for the biopic," Prem told PTI.
"We will go for an established actor as the canvas of the film is huge. It is a complex, complicated and fantastic film," he said.
Mrs Lajmi is actively working on the script with Prem. "We are still scripting the film. Kalpanaji is actively a part of this project. She is an important part of this film. Without her support I don't think I can make this film as it is her story," he added.
"It is a crucial film. He is a legend. To make a film on him is difficult and challenging," Prem said.
Prem had directed Preity Zinta in Ishkq In Paris, which was also her debut production.
The film will reportedly go on floors by the end of this year.
