Salman Khan To Debut As A TV Producer With Wrestler Gama Pehalwan's Biopic Series

The beguiling story of 'invincible' wrestler Ghulam Mohammed, who is also known as the Great Gama, touched Salman Khan several years ago. It caught his attention so much that the actor decided to make a film on his life. Ghulam’s story intrigued even fellow actor John Abraham who also shared aspiration of turning his life into a film. However, plans of both the actors could not materialise.

But now we have heard that Salman is bringing the story of the wrestler into life. But his production house has ditched the idea of making a film and has instead planned to bring his story to life on the small screen. “This will mark Salman Khan's first television project as producer. The pilot episode has been shot and sent to the channel concerned," says an insider.

The insider further adds, "The story is set in Amritsar, Gama's home town, during the Partition. The show opens with a rioting scene and a few minutes into it, a 65-year-old Gama Pahelwan makes an entry.” Actor-producer Sohail Khan will be seen essaying the role of a wrestler. Gama played the sport for five decades and remained undefeated during his entire period. He was considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. A source revealed that makers have not yet finalised the rest of the cast for the serial.
