Deceased renowned painter M F Husain’s connection with Bollywood has been quite old. Many of his paintings are inspired with actress such as Madhuri Dixit, Tabu and Amrita Rao.

However, there have been some years since his passing, but recent we hear is that the legendary artist is an inspiration for an upcoming film. No, not a biopic, but the film, directed by adman Shashank Shekhar. It is said to be about an artist who gives back to society through his art.

We hear from sources that veteran actor Gulshan Grover, will be playing the character. He will sport long hair coupled with the trademark stubble, and move around barefoot in the movie. To make his part look as authentic as possible, the actor is borrowing from his interactions with the celebrated artist.

Meanwhile, when sources contacted Gulshan, he declined to share too many details saying, "I'm in an interesting phase of my career with filmmakers putting greater faith in me as an actor. When I was offered the role, inspired by the legendary artist and woven in a touching story, I loved it and took it up."

Interestingly, Gulshan also practiced painting before he started shooting. Well, with Gulshan in it, don’t you think it will be an interesting watch!
