On superstar Rajesh Khanna's 79th birth anniversary, Nikhil Dwivedi announced a biopic on the iconic star, for whom the term 'superstar' was originally coined.
Nikhil took to his social media and shared a picture of the superstar with his famous quoute and wrote, “An Icon. A Megastar. Always Regal yet Melancholic. They don't make em' like you anymore #RajeshKhanna.#SuperStar #TheRajeshKhannaStory #DarkStar #TheLonlinessofbeingRajeshKhanna #Saffronbroadcastandmedialtd”
It is reported that choreographer turned director Farah Khan has been approached to helm the project.
Rajesh Khanna, with his impeccable journey in the film industry, had delivered 17 successive super-hits in three years from 1969-71, which included 15 consecutive solo super-hit films.
Such was the craze about him that female fans reportedly wrote letters in blood to him, married his photographs and went into mourning when he tied the knot with Dimple Kapadia in March 1973.
Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012 due to cancer. He was posthumously awarded India's third highest civilian honour Padma Bhushan in 2013 for his work in the entertainment industry.
