Tansen will be directed by Satish Kaushik, it will be a bio-pic on the life and music of the legendary musician-singer Tansen who regaled Emperor Akbar’s court in the 16th century. The last important film on Tansen was made in 1943 when K L Saigal immortalised the classical vocalist with his screen presence and voice in a film directed by Jayant Desai.
Apparently since Kaushik worked with him in Karz, Himesh’s name did come up for consideration. But the Barjatyas firmly vetoed the idea. And the mantle has fallen on Abhishek Bachchan.
Satish Kaushik said “Abhishek has the look and intensity. He also has the dialogue delivery of his father. And we do need a Tansen who thinks in Hindi and talks the language fluently”. That kind of eliminates the Barjatyas’s favourites Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan — who apparently were also considered. Barjatyas have roped in the talented Ravindra Jain who has given hit background score in ‘Chit Chor’ and ‘Geet Gata Chal’.
