Just like any other business, the coronavirus pandemic turned out to be a major setback for the entertainment industry also. Some of the films which were announced in pre-covid times have been shelved permanently, while others are yet to get off the ground.
One of the biggest films that would have gone on floors by now had there been no pandemic around is Bhushan Kumar’s Mogul, a biopic based on his father and T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar. The film stars Aamir Khan in the role of the music baron.
Talking to a publication, Bhushan Kumar confirmed that the ambitious biopic is very much in the pipeline. “Mogul is happening, but it will be a little later now because Aamir sir’s film (Laal Singh Chaddha) has been delayed a bit,” he said.
He went on to add, “People keep asking me about Mogul, but I am in no hurry to make that film. It’s not a project for me, it’s a dream. I can make it this year, next year or even three years later. There is no (time) limit to it. I promise, it will be made at the correct time. We are yet to decide on the shooting timelines.”
The producer is thrilled about the response that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi has received from the audience and is hoping for the same kind of response for his upcoming slate of films.
“The response to Gangubai (Kathiawadi) has given us some confidence. We have Jhund up for release on March 4, which will be followed by Radhe Shyam, Anek, Ek Villain Returns, Thank God, and Shehzada. There are some other films lined up too, but we are yet to decide on the release date,” he stated.
