Sonam Kapoor won’t play Amrita Sher-Gil anymore

Till date, Sonam Kapoor has been part of two biopics. One, where she played a small but impactful role of Biro in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and the other that was based on Neerja Bhanot’s life. But is she willing to do more biopics? The actress says, “Why not? There are so many interesting stories to tell, so many lives that have been lived. If something interesting comes up, I’ll do it for sure.”

Ask her to name someone she wants to play and she immediately responds. “Frida Kahlo because she motivates me in so many ways. I think she is extremely inspiring and her story is worth telling. I admire her immensely.”

That reminds us that there were initial talks of her playing painter Amrita Sher-Gil (who is called India’s Frida Kahlo) in a biopic, too. Last year, in an interview with After Hrs, the fashionista had confirmed the news and said, “Yes, I’ve been approached to play Amrita Sher-Gil; it’s a great role. I also have a keen interest in painting and not many know that I can actually paint well. So, let’s see what happens.”

However, now Sonam states that she is no longer a part of the project. “I’m not doing it anymore,” she tells us, without revealing any further details about why she opted out of it.
