Mumbai: On the occasion of Bollywood’s first female choreographer Saroj Khan’s death anniversary, Bhushan Kumar announced that a biopic will be made on this ace choreographer’s life. Bhushan Kumar is the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series. The production house has acquired the rights to produce Saroj Khan’s biopic from her children Raju Khan, Sukaina Khan, and the daughters of Hina Khan.


As the production house is all set to tell the world Saroj Khan’s story of struggle and success, Bhushan Kumar reveals that he is glad that he will be bringing to the world the story of the ace choreographer who started her journey at age of 3.


Bhushan Kumar said, “Sarojji not only mesmerized the audiences with actors performing her dance moves, but she also revolutionized the choreography scene in Hindi cinema. Her dance forms told stories which helped every filmmaker.” He further added, “Sarojji’s journey that started as early as a 3-year-old was met with a lot of ups and downs and the success and respect she gained from the industry has to be brought to life. I remember visiting film sets with my father and seeing her bring life to the songs with her choreography. Her dedication towards the art was commendable. I am glad Sukaina & Raju agreed to let us make this biopic of her mother.”


Raju Khan, who is a choreographer himself, says, “My mother loved dancing and we all saw how she dedicated her life towards that. I am glad I followed in her footsteps. My mother was loved and respected by the industry and it is an honor for us that the world can see her story. I am glad Bhushanji has decided to make a biopic on the graceful Saroj Khan.”


Sukaina Khan, says, “My mother was loved and respected by the entire industry but we have closely seen her struggle and fight to become who she was. We hope with this biopic, Bhushanji will be able to tell her story, her love for us, her passion for dancing, and her fondness for her actors and respect to the profession with this biopic.”


Saroj Khan passed away last year on July 3, 2020, after suffering a cardiac arrest. She has worked with Madhuri Dixit in Kalank and also became a popular face on television as a judge on dance reality shows like Naach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.


The team will announce further developments soon.
