Music mogul Gulshan Kumar’s rags-to-riches story is the
stuff of legends. His devotion to goddess Vaishno Devi, enterprising nature and
passion for his work led to his meteoric rise. From being a household name with
his devotional music to becoming the one-man music industry with T-Series, his
larger-than-life story is set to get captured in a biopic titled Mogul.
Produced by his wife Sudesh Kumari, the film to be directed by Subhash
Kapoor will star superstar Akshay Kumar as the music mogul. The actor shared a
special bond with the Emperor of music Gulshan Kumar.
Says Akshay about the biopic on his friend, "I
had the good fortune of knowing Gulshanji well. My association with him started
right from my first film Saugandh. We both shared many things
in common and come from a similar background. And I am very excited to play him
on-screen".
Gulshan Kumar’s son Bhushan Kumar added, "Mogul is
not a film for me. It’s my dream come true. My father has been my guiding force
all through my life and I have always felt his presence with me in everything I
do. I always knew that one day I would make Mogul and share my
father's amazing story with the world. I am also extremely happy that my mother
Sudesh Kumari will be producing the film. And I can think of no one better than
Akshay to play him on-screen."
Subhash Kapoor said, "When Vikram Malhotra
shared the idea of the film with me, there was a feeling of disbelief. I always
told my team that the one story I would love to make a movie on was
Gulshanji's, and here I am doing just that."
Gulshan Kumar was extremely attached to his younger daughter Tulsi Kumar,
and that's why they chose to announce the film on her birthday. The shooting of
Mogul will begin in the end of 2017.
