'83, Maidaan, Thalaivi And Others; List Of Upcoming Bollywood Biopics Which We Can't Wait To Watch
What's common between Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, The Dirty Picture, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Sanju and Super 30? These are all stories of real life people which were retold on the big screen in the form of biopics. The audience laughed, cried and felt every emotion of the protagonist in each of these films. Probably that's one of the reasons why filmmakers still get attracted to stories of real life personalities like a moth to a flame. Most of the times, these films are a beguiling mix of fact and fiction. Some hit the bull's eye at the box office; some don't.
Meanwhile, Bollywood's obssession with biopics continues in the upcoming year as well. With just few weeks remaining to bid goodbye to the year 2020, we bring you a list of upcoming Bollywood biopics that have raised up our anticipation levels right from the time they were announced by the makers.
'83
After playing a tyrannical ruler, a cop and a rapper, Ranveer Singh is now gearing up to hit the ball for a six at the box office with Kabir Khan's upcoming sports drama '83. The film is based on former Indian captain Kapil Dev's life and will chronicle India's historic World Cup win in 1983. When you have two biggest fandoms of India- Bollywood and cricket coming together, expect some fireworks on the big screen!
Maidaan
Sports biopics seem to be the latest flavour of the season. Get ready to revisit the golden era of Indian football with Ajay Devgn's Maidaan. The film helmed by Amit Sharma, has Devgn stepping into the shoes of football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. Will he and his team score a goal at the box office? Only time will tell.
Thalaivi
Kangana Ranaut's upcoming multilingual biopic Thalaivi has Bollywood's controversy queen essaying the role of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Late. Jayalalitha. The AL Vijay directorial will trace the late leader's journey from cinema to politics. Besides Kangana, the film has a promising ensemble star cast which includes Arvind Swamy, Madhoo and Bhagyashree.
Gangubai Kathiawadi
Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is known for his larger-than-life story-telling and grandeur, is all set to present Alia Bhatt like never before in his upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi. Inspired by a chapter in Hussain Zaidi's Mafia Queens of Mumbai, the young star will be playing Gangubai Kothewali, a controversial lady who earned herself the moniker of ‘Madam of Kamathipura' in the '60s.
Prithviraj
Superstar Akshay Kumar will be seen playing a historical character for the first time in his career in Yash Raj Film's big ticket entertainer Prithviraj. The film directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, has Kumar playing the role of warrior king Prithviraj Chauhan from the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty who was known for his heroism. Former beauty queen Manushi Chhillar who is making her Bollywood debut with this film, essays the role of Princess of Kannauj, Samyukta.
Sardar Uddham Singh
Director Shoojit Sircar is all set to bring to life the story of Indian revolutionary Udham Singh on the big screen. With Vicky Kaushal essaying the titular role of the freedom fighter who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by assassinating General O'Dwyer, it would be interesting to revisit this chapter from history.
Shershaah

He was honoured with the Param Vir Chakra posthumously. We can't wait to watch Sid recreate this story of patriotism and valour on the big screen.
