Vidya Balan on the biopic Sridevi: It would take a lot of courage to do it

Bollywood actor Vidya Balan, who has Silky Smitha's biopic Dirty Picture to his credit, wants to portray the life of another superstar on the screen. The actor, who was last seen in the biopic Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer NTR, wants to pay tribute to Sridevi by embodying it in the biopic of the actor. "It would take a lot of courage, but as a tribute to Sridevi, I would do it," Vidya told IANS.

Previously, Vidya paid a small tribute to Sridevi when he was released in 2017, Tumhari Sulu. The actor had played on the iconic piece of Sridevi "Hawa Hawai" remixed version.

While Vidya wants to play Sridevi, many filmmakers had expressed the wish to make a film with the deceased actor, who died last year.

] After his disappearance, Hansal Mehta spoke to Twitter to share his grief with the message: "There will never be Sridevi. I was about to approach for a movie. This film will be dedicated to him now. If she finds an actor. "

Kalank was another project in which Sridevi was part of the cast. Karan Johar has repeatedly explained that Kalank was his dream project and he always wanted Sridevi to be part of it.

The role of Sridevi has now been taken over by Madhuri Dixit. Madhuri, who plays Begum Bahaar in the movie at the launch of Kalank, said: "I was very sad about his death. I had a very heavy heart when I was asked to do it. Entering her role was difficult because I knew she was going to do it and I would miss her. But then, as an actor, I must overtake him and take him back. I will always miss her terribly. "
