Ekta Kapoor again gears up for a biopic

Mumbai: After tasting the success of a biopic film with ‘The Dirty Picture’, inspired by the life of late southern sex symbol Silk Smitha, producer Ekta Kapoor is gearing up to begin work on another biopic soon.

"I am doing a very big biopic, but can`t make any announcement now. But I can assure you this will be one biopic that will be shock-worthy," Ekta told reporters. "We will start shooting it by the end of this year or next year with a very interesting cast, but I am not allowed to reveal the names. All I can say is it is a male biopic," she added. ‘The Dirty Picture’ saw Vidya Balan effortlessly play the role of Silk. The bold and beautiful portrayal even won the beauty a best actress National Award. IANS
