Saroj Khan, the great choreographer, will be the subject of a biography directed by Bhushan Kumar.

Bhushan Kumar of T-Series will bring the narrative of India’s first female choreographer to life, a storey of struggle, success, and determination. The biopic of iconic choreographer Saroj Khan has been bought by the production studio. Saroj Khan’s children Raju Khan, Sukaina Khan, and Hina Khan’s daughters recently gave him the rights to her life narrative.

Kishanchand, Nirmala Sadhu Singh Nagpal, often known as Saroj Khan, was a Bollywood dance choreographer who was best known for a number of hit songs in the 1980s and 1990s. She had a 50-year career in which she worked with many top actors and choreographed some of the most iconic dance routines in the industry.

Saroj Khan was the first female choreographer in Bollywood, and she was one of the few women working behind the camera at a period when practically all technicians were men. Saroj Khan, the pioneer she became, began her career as a dancer when she was three years old, became a choreographer at the age of ten, and became an assistant choreographer at the age of twelve.

Saroj Khan is known for her iconic dance songs such as “Ek Do Teen,” “Choli Ke Peechey Kya Hai,” “Hawa Hawai,” and “Dhak Dhak Karne Laga,” as well as songs from films such as Devdas, Lamhe, Nagina, Kalank, Chandni, Saawariya, Taal, Beta, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,” and many others. The three-time National Award-winning choreographer was best known for her work with Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi, but she has collaborated with a number of younger celebrities.

“Sarojji not only charmed spectators with her dancing moves, but she also transformed the choreography scene in Hindi cinema,” adds Bhushan Kumar. Her dancing forms offered stories that were beneficial to all filmmakers. She drew crowds to the theatres to see their favorite actors dance to her beats. Sarojji’s path, which began when she was three years old, has been filled with ups and downs, and the success and respect she has earned from the profession must be brought to life. I recall visiting film sets with my father and witnessing her choreography bring the songs to life. Her commitment to the art was admirable. I’m grateful Sukaina and Raju decided to allow us to film a biopic of her mother.

“My mother was loved and revered by the entire profession, but we have watched her suffer and strive to become who she was,” Sukaina Khan adds. We hope that via this biography, Bhushanji will be able to communicate her narrative, her love for us, her passion for dance, her affection for her actors, and her respect for the profession.”

The team will provide updates as they become available.
