Kareena Kapoor Khan thinks Priyanka Chopra was apt for ‘Mary Kom’

Biopics have become the current��flavor of the season for Bollywood directors and actors. Whether it was Farhan Akhtar who started it off with ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (2013) or Priyanka Chopra��with the most recent,��’Mary Kom'(2014), these films have been bringing in big numbers at the box office. However, Kareena Kapoor Khan feels that she doesn’t want to be a part of the this current fad, and that��not every actor can suit every character like Chopra did in ‘Mary Kom’.

In an interview with DNA, Khan stated that she doesn’t want to be caught in this bio-pic frenzy, saying, “I have been offered biopics, but I don’t think that just because there is a trend of biopics, one should get caught in the frenzy and do one. Actors tend to do that. If a comedy chal gayi, everybody will make comedy films, action works, then there are a string of action films and biopic ek chali, so everybody will want to make a biopic. I don’t want to just do it for the sake of it. There have been so many. One was based on an IAS officer. Somebody wanted to make a film on Kiran Bedi, that was also offered to me. I don’t see myself doing a biopic. I don’t know. It’s an exciting profession. Every actor does what works for them, what suits them. Like I think Priyanka was apt for Mary Kom. I don’t see any other actor, any one of us doing that role the way she did it. So there are certain parts, so we should cash on our USPs. I know what mine is, and do films based on that.”

Khan will be seen next in the much awaited ‘Udta Punjab’ with Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh, slated to release on 22nd��January 2016.
