Back in 2019, on the 68th birth anniversary of legendary Punjabi singer Kuldeep Manak, A Virk films and Josan Bros had announced the singer’s biopic for release on 15th November.
Based on the life of the ‘Kaliyan Da Badshah’ Kuldeep Manak, this biopic was to showcase a lot about the singer and his personal life.
Written by H Virk and directed by Josan Sandeep, this film had made waves a few months after it’s announcement but ever since not much has been heard about the fate of this project.
Kuldeep Manak was known for his folk style of singing, his kalis precisely. He was not only a legendary singer but also an actor. Loved by the masses this soulful singer was born as Latif Mohammed on 15 November 1947 to Nikka Khan in the village of Jalal. It was Sardar Partap Singh Kairon (then Punjab Chief Minister) who penned the name Kuldeep Manak when he was mesmerized by Latif’s amazing singing skills.
The music of the movie was being done by Jaidev Kumar and the shoot was going on in Abohar, Punjab.
It would have been quite interesting to watch the life history of this legend on screen.
