After playing a short but sweet role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Sonam Kapoor is all set to do a biopic again but this time as a main protagonist.
If reports are to believed, Sonam will be playing renowned painter Amrita Sher-Gil in a biopic on her life.
"Sonam will play Sher-Gil, an eminent painter of pre-independent India. The actress is in talks with the artist's family and work on her life story has already begun," a leading tabloid quoted its source.
Those who aren't familiar with this name, Amrita was one of the prominent painters of pre-independent India. She was born to a Punjabi father and Jewish mother in Budapest and stayed mostly in India and France. She died at the age of 29.
The film will revolve around Sher-Gil's family, friends, lovers and mentors.
Well, we hope Sonam will do justice to the role and will prove her as a serious actor.
