Smita Patil biopic has Prateik Babbar excited
The actor says that he would like his mother's biopic to be called Ek Thi Smita
Though it’s been ten years since he made his debut in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, star-kid Prateik Babbar is yet to gain a foothold in the industry. The actor, who will soon be seen in Anubhav Sinha's Mulk, says that he’s been approached by people wishing to make a film based on his late mother, the legendary actress Smita Patil.
“Yes people have expressed an interest in making my mother’s biopic, and that excites me. She was a pure soul with such a short life, and I think it would be nice to see her life on screen,” he says.
Smita, who was born on October 17, 1955, died at age of 31, within a few days of giving birth to Prateik.
But the actor says that he’s not the one who has the authority to give the go-ahead. “I am okay with it, but I don't know if my family is. I am not the person who can give the project the green signal, it has to be a collective decision. It’s a sensitive but beautiful thought,” he says.
Ask Prateik what he would like the biopic to be called, and he says, “It should be called Ek Thi Smita. I would really love that.”
