Mumbai: Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has once again expressed his long-standing aspiration to portray legendary Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh in a biopic, describing the all-rounder’s life story as one that “the world needs to know.”
“Biopic, of course — all the time. I have kept telling this from day one, since 2019, and I’ll say it even now and manifest that one day it happens — Yuvraj Singh. Because his journey has been incredible; it’s been a rollercoaster ride. I have loved and adored him through all his games — his play, his lifestyle, and the problems and tragedies he has faced. He’s an icon, and the world needs to see the film and know his story,” PTI reported, quoting him.
Siddhant’s association with cricket-based films began early in his career with Amazon Prime Video’s ‘Inside Edge’, where he explored the layered underbelly of the sport.
The actor later appeared in films such as ‘Gully Boy’, ‘Phone Bhoot’, ‘Gehraiyaan’, and ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’.
As the actor marks 10 years in Bollywood, he admits that he has never been good at networking or PR strategies.
“I am bad with networking and PR. I don’t know how to position myself. Isn’t my work the method of telling people the authenticity I have? The only way I keep myself not corrupted is to know what corruption is and coming from nowhere, I’ve seen everything. I feel innocence, purity, authenticity and minimalism are going to be the new way of life in the next 15 years. We’ve maximised the world with information and everybody is a superstar,” Siddhant said.
