Even the opposite of being famous has a great reward in the form of a statue for this man.
A famous old restaurant in Goa named O' Coquerio has a statue of this chap sitting reading a book kept in its balcony for keeping alive the memory of the day the notorious criminal was caught from the restaurant after escaping from Tihar Jail.
Charles Shobraj or The Bikini Killer, now into his 60's passing his time in a jail in Nepal till now has covered a pretty long distance in a life filled with realities that have enough and more of happenings, drama and action that a film maker can desire.
So it is a little bit strange how till now the life story of Charles escaped the hawkish eyes of our Bollywood film makers.
If Charles Shobraj's objections are not considered by the courts, then he can see his own life or a reel life almost near to it unfolding in a screen in the front of his eyes soon.
A film inspired from the life of the notorious criminal titled 'Charles and I' is being planned.
It's a story of a very cunning, charismatic criminal who always is one step ahead of the police finally meeting another man who is at par with his flawless acumen.
Whether the court will consider his stand against the film if Charles really moves to the court as he has already shown his displeasure in the project is left to be seen.
The film will have Sanjay Dutt playing a pivotal role.
All the film buffs who love to see action and crime thrillers, 'Charles and I' will be a good treat.
The fact that the film's story is not a desi version of a Hollywood movie but is inspired from the life of a world famous criminal who is still alive will make the movie all the more thrilling to watch.
