Superboys of Malegaon

Superboys of Malegaon

In 1997, an aspiring filmmaker Nasir (Adarsh Gourav) along with his friends Farogh (Vineet Kumar Singh), Shafique (Shashank Arora), Irfan, and Akram decide to make a film for their hometown, Malegaon. Farogh, as a writer, had written a storyline based on the iconic movie Sholay. They name their film Malegaon ke Sholay. The film becomes a huge hit, drawing people in large numbers to their movie parlour. Following this, Farogh wants to make a film based on an original storyline but due to his differences in opinion with Nasir and their mutual disagreement to work with each other, he leaves the group and heads for Mumbai. In 2004, while Nasir becomes well-known for his direction in Malegaon, the other group members are underpaid and barely known to the general public. This eventually leads to the original splitting up of the original troupe as Irfan and Akram also leave the group citing that they deserve more recognition for the roles they played in Nasir's films. A series of bad decisions and his failure to make successful films force Nasir to abandon film making and start a restaurant. In 2010, Shafique gets diagnosed with cancer. Nasir, along with Imran and Akram contribute to pay for his treatment, but the illness resurfaces again. Nasir reunites the original group of friends to make a new film with Farogh writing the script and Shafique playing the leading role. The film, titled Superman of Malegaon, fulfills Shafique's desire to become a well known actor.
