Dia Mirza: “I Would Have Made A Biopic On Amrita Sher-Gil”

Actress-producer Dia Mirza, revelling in the success of “Sanju“, says she wants to make a biopic on the life of eminent painter Amrita Sher-Gil.

Dia interacted with the media on the sidelines of a ‘Save The Children’ campaign here on Wednesday.

After working in “Sanju” — a film on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt — who is the personality on whose life Dia would like to make a film on?

“I am intrigued by lots of true life stories. I think in our country, there are lots of stories which can be converted into films. If I would have to do any biopic, then I would have made a biopic on Amrita Sher-Gil because she was an artist. She made her mark globally through her art but she passed away at a young age and she was also fond of children.”

In “Sanju”, Dia has played Maanyata Dutt, Sanjay’s wife.

On the response to “Sanju”, Dia said: “The kind of love and appreciation that the film is getting, the entire team is really happy about it and it is really overwhelming that people are liking the film.
