'I get scared when I'm offered biopics': Varun Dhawan.

It is the season of biopics in Bollywood but
on actor Varun Dhawan's wishlist is only
one man, his filmmaker father David
Dhawan. The actor said he is scared of
doing biopics but if he had to do one, he
would like to chronicle the life of his father
on the big screen.
David, real name Rajinder Dhawan, is a
graduate from Film and Television Institute
of India (FTII)Film and Television Institute of
India (FTII). He is best known for his string
of comedy films with Govinda in the '90s.
"If I have to do a biography on someone, it
would be my dad. I think it would be about
his early life, till the time he didn't have me,"
the actor said at an event. Varun said he
approaches his fictional characters as if they
are the stories of real people.
"Whenever I am offered a biopic, I get
scared. Most of the times, I don't want to do
one. I approach even my fictional characters
as biopic characters. I am playing a tailor in
'Sui Dhaga'. It's not based on a particular
person but it's based on my observations of
common people and how they go to work."
Varun currently has his slate full with films
like Kalank, Ranbhoomi and an untitled
project with Katrina Kaif. He was speaking at
the book launch of author Amish Tripathi's
new book Suheldev & The Battle Of Bahraich.
Biopics have proved to be a successful
genre in Hindi cinema with the success of
films such as Mary Kom, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag,
Dangal and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.
Sanjay Dutt is the latest personality to get a
film on his life. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani,
Sanju features Ranbir Kapoor in lead role.
