SANJAY GUPTA is set to produce a biopic on the life of one of the controversial bar dancer in the 80's, SWEETY from TOPAZ BAR, Mumbai titled 'TOPAZ' which will be directed by SAMIT KAKKAD
Sweety's fan-following transcended boundaries and Topaz Bar, located in Southern Mumbai, would become a packed house as patrons trickled in every night from all over the world to watch her moves on the dance floor. However, The twist in the tale lies in the true identity of who Sweety was. The film would track Sweety's journey between the 1980s and 1990s up until when dance bars were forced to shut in the city as well as Topaz Bar being the center of many decisions that changed the course of Mumbai along with the bar serving as center of the much prevailing bar politics.
The film is currently in scripting stage and is likely to go in second half of 2022 as KAKKAD is currently working on a series based on the life of Drug Queen BABY PATANKAR and scripts of both these projects were being underway from past 2 years.
