In Brief

India has been a nation obsessed with films since their inception with the very first release being Raja Harishchandra (1913) by Dadasaheb Phalke, which soon paved way for other great filmmakers in India to come out with their own movies, thereby establishing the foundation of the Indian Film Industry.

In the early days, Calcutta (now Kolkata) was considered the headquarters of Indian Cinema, which soon became Mumbai during the 1940s when Bombay Talkies was the biggest production house at the time.

Soon, all language film industries of India established their own base in various cities with Bombay, later Mumbai became the home ground for Hindi and Marathi Cinema, and today, Indian Cinema is the largest film industry in the world that rolls out a maximum number of films each year.

Nowadays, it is the time of biopics in Bollywood, which has come out with many good and bad ones both in the past and present-day films, with Sardar Udham being the latest blockbuster from Bollywood that starred Vicky Kaushal as Sardar Udham Singh.

Given below, are some important Bollywood biopics that are in the pipeline that viewers can look forward to, which starts their favourite stars.
