The retelling of the life histories of famous personalities in various fields through biopics is a perennial trend in Indian cinema. Quite often, we get to see the biopics of several distinguished people from different fields like politics, movies, sports, and other backgrounds. These biopics mirror the ups and downs of a personality in a cinematic manner and entertain audiences. Filmmakers usually choose stories of individuals who passed away and left an indelible impact on society. On rare occasions, biopics of living personalities are made.
In what could be another such instance, a biopic of living superstar Rajinikanth is on the cards. Rajinikanth is hailed as a demigod by millions of his fans across the globe. He is undoubtedly one of the earliest known pan-India superstars from India who garnered fans all over the country. His fanbase even spreads beyond India and extends all over Asia. Besides his cinematic charisma, Rajinikanth is also loved for his humble demeanor and down-to-earth attitude. Moreover, his journey from being a bus conductor to emerging as a superstar of the country is an inspiring story.
As per the ongoing reports in the media circles, Bollywood filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala has plans to direct the biopic on Rajinikanth. Sajid is not just an ardent fanboy of Rajinikanth’s onscreen persona but also a huge admirer of his offscreen image. So, he is very determined to mount the inspiring journey of Rajinikanth on the big screen with a larger-than-life set-up and grand canvas.
