For Imran Khan, biopics are a ‘waste of time’

While it’s raining biopics in Bollywood, actor Imran Khan finds it strange why so many actors are suddenly going gaga over the genre. The reason? He is not quite ready to be a part of a mere trend until he really likes a script.

In a recent conversation with a leading daily, Imran said he never thought about bringing life into any particular real-life figure.

“Every four months there’s a trend — it’s a sports film, a biopic, an issue-based drama, a realistic film. I have never thought about doing a film because it’s about something — I read a script that is offered to me and if it’s interesting, I do it. When biopics do well, many rush to do it as it seems like a sure shot winner. What the f**k? If you like the script, you do it. How does it matter what genre it is? ‘Ab mujhe biopic hi karna hai, kyun ki yeh hit hai?’ Nothing of the sort for me.” he said.

So will we never see him portraying any real life character ever?  “It never occurred to me. I tend to read more fiction as I find that interesting, but I have never actively thought I would like to play some person. It seems like a waste of time – you sit and think of a sportsperson, king or inventor and say I want to play that. What’s going to happen?” he answers.

Well, noted.
