Bollywood’s blockbuster machine Salman Khan is considered an idol when it comes to body building. The actor often flaunts his well-toned physique by taking off his shirt, that is also something his fans await the most in each of his upcoming films. After giving a successful film like ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ which was his first production, the actor is now all set to produce the real life story of Somen Banerjee.
This is a rags to riches kind of story where Salman Khan has also confirmed his involvement in the project. According to his quote in one of the leading dailies, the ‘Dabangg’ star said, “A Bengali man, who moved from India to America in the late 60s, struggled and created one of America’s most iconic brands. We are going to tell the story of Somen Banerjee, a man driven by fierce ambition, on celluloid.”
Further, Amar Butala, COO from Salman’s production house added, “The story of Somen Banerjee has all the shades of a gangster film — raw greed, power and violence. We’re currently working on the script and the plan is twofold — to produce a feature film and to develop it as a mini-series as well.”
Well that’s indeed quite interesting to see Salman working on a biopic project, as a producer. We wonder, when the script is locked who will be seen playing the titular role of Somen Banerjee.
For the uninitiated, Somen Banerjee was a Bengali immigrant, entrepreneur and founder of Chippendales (the popular nightspot best known for its male striptease performances and dancers who created a storm in the US in the 70s and 80s).
