Singh’s Legend Global Studio Acquires Rights for Subrata Roy Sahara’s Biopic
Mumbai, 19, July, 2021: Legend Global Studio owned by Sandeep
Singh has acquired the rights of a biopic on the business tycoon and Sahara
India Pariwar Chairman Subrata Roy Sahara.
Sandeep Singh, India's youngest filmmaker who
already has well acclaimed biopics like the National award winning Mary Kom,
Aligarh, Sarbjit, and PM Narendra Modi to his credit as a producer has landed
the rights for a biopic which was vied for by a number of production houses.
Sandeep who is also working on a biopic on Veer Sarvarkar and the soon to be
released ‘Jhund’ said, “The story of Saharasri, as he is fondly called, is the
most fascinating real story available at present. Beginning from a small town
in Uttar Pradesh to becoming a founder of an organisation of 14 lakh workers
working under its aegis; the second largest in India after Indian Railways, of being
one of the most influential persons with stars from sports to Bollywood to
politics oscillating around him; rich in controversies and audacity; a saga of
emotions, rise and resilience, it has all this and more, to be a delight for
filmmakers as well as the audience. His story is full of surprises, and as no
one has dared explore it, it is largely untold.”
According to Sandeep, it wasn't easy getting
the rights from the Sahara India Pariwar Chairman. "Mr. Roy has been
approached by many for a biopic, but he was extremely reluctant about it. I met
him several times during the course of the last year and was able to assure him
that the film will not be made for mere financial gains but will be dealt with
in all honesty and will be factual. Finally, we were able to get the rights and
we are upbeat about the project. ”
Widely acknowledged as a creative genius with
his finger on the pulse of the industry, Sandeep Singh who has worked with some
of the biggest directors and stars in Bollywood, has had a long innings in the
industry with a powerful roster of films to his credit, as the co-producer of Goliyon
Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Rowdy Rathore, Gabbar is back, and Mary Kom and Aligarh
as producer.
Under his production house Legend Global
Studio, Sandeep Singh has produced the much acclaimed Sarbjit, Bhoomi, & PM
Narendra Modi. The filmmaker has also recently made it to the headlines after
he announced a biopic on Veer Savarkar titled 'SwatantraVeer Savarkar' to be
directed by well-known director Mahesh Manjrekar.
