Richard Atenborough’s Gandhi had been released 30 years ago ( 2013 )in 1983. Ben Kingsley enacted Gandhi in this movie. A foreign director and half –Indian actor brought one of the most charismatic personalities of the  history to the silver screen. In 2005, Sahara India Motion Pictures released Bose —  the Forgotten Hero. It was premiered at Kolkata on May 6. There was a biopic on Nehru called Jewel of India, but was not up to the mark.The stay of Gandhi at South Africa was captured in The Making  of Mahatma.. Ketan Mehta’s Sardar was good in terms of acting and screenplay but was average in terms of production values. The movie on Savarkar was not so good. After Gandhi, the good biopic of a historical personality that was made was Dr. Ambedkar.

Farhan Akhtar encted the role of a flying Shikh – Milkha Singh, Priyanka Chopra has enacted the role of the boxer Mary  Kom. A biopic is proposed on the life of Bruce Lee – Birth of a Dragon. Shoojit Sircar and Anurag Basu propose to produce independently a biopic on Kishor Kumar.
