Saif Ali Khan wants to make a biopic on the life of his father, the legendary late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
Saif was telling a leading daily, “I would love to (make a biopic). He is a huge icon in my mind. He was a stylish person – with his body language, the way he spoke, his attitude, and even the way he smoked his cigarettes. You can’t come close to him. It’s like making a film on Bruce Lee.
Who is going to copy his body language? That is my main concern. Amma Sharmila Tagore) feels Ranbir Kapoor can. Yes, he has a long face like my father but I don’t think he likes cricket. However, it will be great to see a film on him. It will be a great story about bringing India together.”
However, he even mentions what stops him from making it, “I think it’s because of my personal affection towards him, and also not wanting to make a bad film ever. Tab toh lag jayenge (it will get a lot of criticism). Who is making such mind-blowing films nowadays? You need somebody who really understands such stuff. It needs to be done at some point.”
When he was asked whether he would play the lead in the biopic, he clarified, “I don’t know, maybe. I am 46 and all his drama happened when he was in his 20s. So, there can be two actors who can portray different stages of his life. It’s actually very interesting but I am scared of making a bad film.”
