Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore wants a biopic to be made on
her late husband cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and astonishments if Ranbir
and Alia could fit the roles.
"Yes, of course I would like a movie to be
made on Mansoor Ali Khan. If someone really directs it properly, and with
proper research, I think I would like it. I think his life has got a lot of
things, about the accident, about losing his father and playing cricket with
such a handicap," Sharmila told on the red carpet of Lux Golden Rose
awards recently.
When enquired whom she would like to see in the role of
Pataudi, the actress told, "I really don't know. Somebody who looks like
Tiger. May be Ranbir Kapoor or somebody in the family."
But when enquired whom she would like to play her on the
screen, Sharmila asked, "That's a real challenge. What about Alia
Bhatt?"
Sharmila Tagore also spoken about her family trust working
closely with acid attack victims.
"We have a trust, Pataudi Trust, we support acid attack
victims. I think as a woman and as an actor, we are so involved with the
physical attributes. So I cannot imagine it as a woman, that just because
someone said no, you throw acid on her, this is terrible. I am restoring their
faces," Sharmila further added.
Mansoor Ali Khan, called Tiger Pataudi, is often pronounced
as India's greatest cricket captain. He was made captain of the Indian
team at the age of 21 even though several other players were more experienced.
The actress told that they have already published a book on
her cricketer husband and a biography is in the pipeline.
