Deepika Padukone on biopics: I feel like there are too many being made

Biopics have been a current favourite with
filmmakers for a while now. From Mary
Kom to a recent Sanju, directors cannot get
enough of the real-life stories on the big
screen. With each passing day, a new biopic
in announced.
From film stars to sport stars to politicians,
Bollywood seems to be interested in almost
everyone's 'untold story'.
In fact, buzz had it that Deepika Padukone
was one of the contenders for Saina Nehwal
biopic , but the makers finally zeroed in on
Shraddha Kapoor for the role.
When Deepika was recently asked about her
take on biopics, the 32-year-old actress told
a leading daily, "I feel like there are too many
biopics being made. In the last few months,
I cant count the number of biopics that
we've been offered. And they're all great;
they're very strong and powerful."
She added, "But when it comes to a film,
after a point, how much are you going to tell
me about those struggles? Even a common
man on the street has had a similar journey,
if you ask me."
On the work front, Deepika, who was last
seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, is
yet to sign another project.

I thought the one she was to do for Vishal Bardwaj alongside Irrfan was still in the offing ?

She should not wait too long to sign a new movie because many times people fail in race just by the thought that I achieved alot, now it's chilling time.

Wasn't her movie with Vishal Bhardwaj based on the life of Sapna Didi, therefore essentially like a biopic?
