As per News18, talking about the project, Bhushan said, “Saroj ji’s journey that started as early as a 3-year-old was met with a lot of ups and downs and the success and respect she gained from the industry has to be brought to life. I remember visiting film sets with my father and seeing her bring life to the songs with her choreography. Her dedication towards the art was commendable. I am glad Sukaina & Raju agreed to let us make this biopic of her mother,” he added.
During her over 4-decade-long career, Saroj Khan had choreographed more than 3,500 songs, including- Hawa Hawai (Mr. India), Ek Do Teen (Tezaab), Tamma Tamma Loge (Thanedaar), Dhak Dhak Karne Laga (Beta), Dola Re Dola (Devdas), Ye Ishq Haaye (Jab We Met), to name a few.
