It certainly seems to be raining biopics within the echelons of the Hindi film industry what with one following the other with nauseating regularity........
One was just about recovering from the pictorial essay aptly titled "Rang Rasiya" (an essay on the life and times of celebrated and controversial painter Raja Ravi Verma) and now comes the news about yet another biopic on the life and times of "the Indian Houdini" P.C. Sorcar Senior........
According to sources close to the fledgling project; matinee idol Akshay Kumar has been roped in to essay the role of the iconic magician who ruled the roost in the 50's; 60's and 70's and is reverentially known till date for his "floating lady" trick that sent more than a shiver or two down the spines of the beholders with both it's eerie atmosphere and gravity defying levity...........
P.C. Sorcar junior (progeny of the legendary magician) has been roped in as a consultant to the project and reportedly has already accorded his approval to the same; according to a few reports; he well might be training Akshay and introducing him to the nuances of this largely mystical art of magic that has mesmerised audiences for centuries........
Soumik Sen (of Gulaab Gang fame) will be directing or helming this venture which is slated to hit theatres in the latter half of 2015 and might well end up proving that Akki is a man of many moods and shades if sources close to the venture are to believed........
