Legendary Actor Guru Dutt’s Biopic Titled ‘Pyaasa’, To Be Headlined By Bhavna Talwar

As biopics continue to fascinate Hindi filmmakers as a genre, a biopic is in the making on the life of iconic actor, filmmaker Guru Dutt, one of the icons of Bollywood’s golden age. The maker’s producer Sheetal Talwar and Bhavna Talwar (will direct the film) have decided to call it Pyaasa, the iconic 1957 drama which saw him essay a poet who struggles for love and recognition.

Confirming the same filmmaker Bhavna Talwar took to twitter and wrote, “Now that the cat’s out of the bag! Can’t wait to get down to this one after 7 years of toil and immeasurable joy.” She also posted the picture of a copy of the script.

Acclaimed filmmaker Bhavna Talwar, who won the National Award for her debut film Dharm, and has most recently completed “Heidi” featuring Bill Nighy, Mark Williams and Helen Baxendale, has been developing this project  around Guru Dutt for the past few years.
