Prasadh Inamdar To Make Natasamrat Series On Bollywood Icons

Jyothi Venkatesh

Director-producer Prasadh Inamdar initially wanted to remake the Marathi play based on the book by Popular Prakashan into a Hindi feature film and approached them for the rights. While most of the people in the management of the publication were keen to give me the rights, someone didn’t and I could not get the rights. I had already registered the title and trademarked the title so that no one else can use it. So, it struck me that I should make biopics on famed Indian actors under that title and that too in Hindi. So, I am now readying plans to make this into a series,” says the filmmaker. Prasadh is already in talks with the family of a Bollywood living legend to tee off the series. He also intends approaching families of other Bollywood greats to do their biopic.

“There are some great actors in Bollywood. Be it Dilip Kumar who is the first method actor in the world. There are greats like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Raj Kapoor, Rekhaji, Dev Anand, Waheeda Rehman among others who have such wonderful stories which the audience would love to know. And yes, there are the three Khans in the contemporary world whose stories will attract the younger audience. We at Vesshay Productions are firming up the plans and will announce the first part of Natasamrat at the soonest,” reveals the filmmaker.

Prasadh Inamdar intends to bankroll the Natasamrat series of films with different directors and different leading actors playing the roles of these Bollywood legends. "The series will be called Natasamrat and every movie will be a feature film length. This is a ten year plan to begin with. By the time we make a few films, we will perhaps have a couple more additions to the legendary actor list. And importantly we need the permissions of the actors and their families to do their biopics," says Inamdar.

S Ramachandran is the Associate Producer of Natasamrat.Prasadh once used to manage legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar’s Professional Management group. Meanwhile Prasadh has been a regular on Indian television and has worked on many projects on TV before entering film. Prasadh was instrumental in making films like the Chhatrapati Award winning Marathi film Hirkani apart from making films like Yoddha, Nirnay, Abhiyan, Kaun Hota To among others in Marathi.
