Here’s what Akshaye has to say about starring in Vinod Khanna’s biopic

This year, Bollywood lost many talented actors, and one of them is Vinod Khanna. The veteran actor passed away in April this year. Well, biopics are in trend in Bollywood these days, so recently while talking to a news agency Akshaye spoke about starring in his father’s biopic.

The actor said, “To portray any real life character, you have to look like that person. I don’t look anywhere close to my father… Not an option.”

When he was asked if he wants a biopic to be made on his father, the actor stated, “I haven’t ever thought about it so I can’t say. But I think biopics by nature, I suppose as accurate as they can be, the better for an actor.”

“It’s very challenging as well as risky for an actor to portray a real life character because you are portraying someone who actually existed. So, it becomes really difficult,” he added. The actor feels that one must think “10 times before portraying a real life person.” (Also Read: Akshaye Khanna makes a huge confession about his relationship status)
