MUMBAI:
Debutant producer- director Vikram Sandhu is making
a biopic on the late Bollywood actress Divya Bharti,
who died at the young age of 19.
Titled
Dream, the film will cover the circumstances revolving
around the tragic death of the 90s star.
But
Sandhu refrained from saying that his film is based
on the life of Divya. He only said that it has elements
from her life. "I am not directly saying that I
am making a film on Divya Bharti. It is about a young
actress who came in the film industry, she was here
for some time, created a stir, achieved fame and won
everyone's heart. There are lots of things that happen
in the life of a heroine. My film is based on a young
girl who becomes star overnight and her journey in filmdom.
It is not based on anyone; I have created a fictitious
character."
Divya
started her career in the film industry with a Telugu
film - Bobbili Raja (1990). After several hit films
down South, she entered Bollywood with Vishwatma (1992).
This film did well at the box office and also her
performance in the song Saat Samundar Paar won accolades.
The
deceased actress appeared in a dozen films between
1992 and 1993, having worked in hits like Shola Aur
Shabnam, Jaan Se Pyaara, Deewana and Balwaan.
Currently,
Sandhu is conducting auditions for the main role.
