Nithya Menen has time and again impressed the audience with her performance in films like Mission Mangal, Banglore Days. Now, in an exclusive conversation with IndiaToday.in, the OK Kanmani actor revealed that she would love to do a biopic on legendary Bollywood actresses Meena Kumari or Madhubala.
NITHYA MENEN WOULD LOVE TO DO A BIOPIC MEENA KUMARI OR MADHUBALA
The 32-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu-starrer Mission Mangal, expressed her desire to step into the shoes of Meena Kumari or Madhubala. She said, "This is just a wish, it's not like I think I'm the best person to play it or something, but maybe if there was a biopic about Madhubala or Meena kumari, I would like to do that. I would probably suit Meena Kumari a little bit more, I guess."
Well, Bollywood is obsessed with biopics. In the last couple of years, we have seen many films being made on these lines. From Mary Kom to Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Sanju to Gunjan Saxena, the list is endless. However, Nithya feels that we are not equipped at making biopics. "I have a bit of a problem with biopics because I feel like they are never made authentically. It's very important that biopics are made with a lot of attention to detail, and we don't do it as well as, maybe, Hollywood does," Nithya said.
Well, it will surely be interesting to watch Nithya step into the shoes of Meena Kumari or Madhubala. On the work front, Nithya currently has her plate full with films like Bheemla Nayak, the Amazon Prime Video series Breathe: Into The Shadows Season 3, Thiruchitrambalam, among others.
