Q. We just had a webseries made on Harshad Mehta. If you were to select a person from the media who you think a biopic should be made on, who would it be?
A. There have been many luminaries in media in the past and present on whom such a biopic can be made. But for any biopic to be successful (at least commercially) some formulae are followed by any production house in terms of twists and turns, inspiration, milestones that provide national pride etc etc. These presuppose enough archives of episodic events to dramatise the chronicling of them into a docudrama. Since I have no data points on that, I can’t comment authentically on the same.
