On the 79th anniversary of India's first superstar Rajesh Khanna's birth (December 29), the director-choreographer revealed the project, which will be produced by Nikhil Dwivedi. Kaka, as he was affectionately known, became the country's most iconic star and captivated the globe as the first true superstar. On July 18, 2012, the great actor passed away. Rajesh Khanna is said to have spent the last few years of his life in complete solitude, as detailed in his biography Dark Star: The Loneliness of Being Rajesh Khanna. The actor-producer Nikhil Dwivedi is enthusiastic about the project "Yes, I’ve acquired the rights to Gautam Chintamani’s book, "Dark Star", and I’m in talks with Farah Khan to make the film. That’s all I can say for now. As and when any major development happens, I’ll be happy to share because I’m really very excited about bringing Rajesh Khanna’s story to the big screen" stated Nikhil. publive-image Image Source: Instagram

The enthusiasm Rajesh Khanna generated was unprecedented, as seen by the truckloads of flowers he received. Female fans were so smitten with him that they wrote him bloodletters, married his photos, and mourned his marriage to Dimple Kapadia in March 1973.
