Its been almost 8 years since the idea of making a biopic on the life of poet –lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi was culminated. The story is written by Jasmeet K Reen and she has not yet found the producer or the actor to play the lead. Earlier there were rumors that Abhsishek Bachchan, the late Irrfan Khan and Farhan Akhtar were to play him at different points in their career but it didn’t work out. Now we hear that the script has landed on Shahrukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment desk and he is most likely to play the lead.

 

There have been stories that Sahir’s lady love Amrita Pritam was to be essayed by Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Taapsee Pannu, but nothing materialized. We wonder if things will move forward and the script will see the light of day soon.
