Biopic will be made soon on Molly Meldrum Reuter

A two-part small screen movie is currently under wraps. Its core subject is the 71-year-old popular music critic, journalist and entrepreneur Ian Alexander "Molly" Meldrum AM. The movie will cover his career in music industry right from the start of his work as a TV figure. The movie is also likely to include the life threatening fall, which resulted in his coma in 2011.

As per the rumours floating, actor Grant Piro is likely to play Meldrum. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The widely received character of Piro in 'INXS: Never Tear Us Apart' mini-series, which aired on TV earlier this year, appears to be a major consideration in possibly choosing him to play the part in the upcoming biopic.

Meldrum has also finished his autobiography and is slated to unveil it in October. The book is titled 'The Never Um...Ever Ending Story'. It is co-authored by Jeff Jenkins, and sources reveal that the book will be offering some exclusive scoops, such as an entire chapter of Michael Jackson. The book will also feature never heard before anecdotes about Meldrum's famous friends like Madonna, Elton John and Rod Stewart.

Meldrum is an indubitable legend in the Australian music industry. He has pioneered in bringing the latest and best music for music lovers in Australia. Due to his charming personality, he has forged close bonds with some of the music giants, such as Madonna and Jackson.

Meldrum's popularity became evident when he struggled through a critical accident in his house, which led to serious injuries, such as breaking several ribs, puncturing his lungs and cracking his skull. The whole country stood by him and showed unprecedented support. Such level of sympathy has never been witnessed and offered to any celebrity.

Presenting the world class music for 13 years in his show Countdown, Meldrum became very influential, especially in promoting new and upcoming talents. He is a respected among his peers and remains as one of the strongest name in the music industry.

Following the stint with Countdown, Molly hosted another TV Show 'Hey Hey Its Saturday' and maintained his status as a household and well-respected name in all of Australia.
