Big B is perfect for playing the character of MF Hussain in titled ‘Hussain – The Painter’!

Small budget movie maker, Prabhakar Shukla is in high hopes to make a movie on the legendary late MF Hussain’s life. On the other hand he could not express his desire as the magnificent artist died in London on Thursday night. Prabhakar Shukla has determined to have a talk with the Shehensha of bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan about this project as he wants the superstar actor to play the role of MF Hussain in his movie project titled ‘Hussain – The Painter’.

According to the director, Amitabh Bachchan had been great friends with MF Hussain over the past many years and even feels that the well-known actor would know a lot about Hussain’s life style and interests. As per Shukla, Amitabh Bachchan will perfectly fit the role and would do complete justice to his character. Anyways the script of the movie hasn’t yet been finalized and Prabhakar Shukla is yet to approach the star. If reports are to be believed then Shukla has already signed a producer for his big project movie.

It would be pretty motivating to see how the life of the great painter MF Hussain will be portrayed on screen as the whole world knows that the magical painter lived his life with pure dignity and no one could match his stature.

Famous Indian painter Maqbool Fida Hussain M.F.Hussain has passed away!

Celebrated Indian painter Maqbool Fida Hussain, who lived the last five years of his life in exile, died of heart attack in London on Thursday morning. He was 95.

According to reports, Hussain died at London’s Royal Brompton Hospital at 2.30 am.

In his long and memorable career as a painter, M F Hussain brought global recognition to Indian art. He was even described by Forbes magazine as the “Picasso of India”. He was unquestionably the highest earning painter of India, with one painting of his even fetching $2 million at a Christie’s auction.

However, in the mid 1990s Hussain angered a section of Hindu community by painting the nude images of Hindu goddesses.

Struggling with legal cases and even death threats, Maqbool Fida Hussain went into a self imposed exile in 2006 and never returned to India again. In January 2010, he even accepted the citizenship of Qatar.

But in one of his last interviews, Hussain said that his heart would always remain in India.

M F Hussain also directed a few Hindi movies — Gajagamini and Meenaxi – A Tale of Three Cities with actresses Madhuri Dixit and Tabu respectively. His cinematic style was often criticized as too poetically melodramatic. Hussain also painted the canvases of Madhuri Dixit — his muse for a long time — and Tabu and Amrita Rao.
