Amma feels Ranbir can do the role; He has a long face like my father: Saif on Tiger Pataudi's biopic

A number of biopics on sportsperson are being made these days. Even Saif Ali Khan wants to make one on his father, late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, but he has his own set of apprehensions.

In an interaction with a leading daily, Saif shared, "I would love to (make a biopic). He is a huge icon in my mind. He was a stylish person - with his body language, the way he spoke, his attitude, and even the way he smoked his cigarettes. You can't come close (to him). It's like making a film on Bruce Lee. Who is going to copy his body language? That is my main concern. Amma (Sharmila Tagore) feels Ranbir (Kapoor) can. Yes, he has a long face like my father but I don't think he likes cricket. However, it will be great (to see a film on him). It will be a great story about bringing India together."

But what has been stopping Saif to make the biopic and he answered, "I think it's because of my personal affection towards him, and also not wanting to make a bad film ever. Tab toh lag jayenge (it will get a lot of criticism). Who is making such mind-blowing films nowadays? You need somebody who really understands such stuff. It needs to be done at some point."

Will Saif essay the role of his father and he shared, "I don't know, maybe. I am 46 and all his drama happened when he was in his 20s. So, there can be two actors (who can portray different stages of his life). It's actually very interesting but I am scared of making a bad film."
