Former Indian table tennis player and Olympian Sharath Kamal recently visited The Free Press Journal's office in Mumbai. From his career to his retirement to politics in sports, he spoke about everything in an exclusive interview with us. When he was asked about which Indian actor he would like to see in his biopic, he took none other than Vicky Kaushal's name.

Kamal revealed that before a biopic, he is planning to write a book on his journey, and later, he will think about the movie. He said that the actor has to be tall like him, and then he quickly took Vicky's name.

He said, "Before making a movie I would like to write about my journey. Writing gives you clarity, and it also explains the complete picture. So, of course, once that is done, hopefully the movie comes. But, also for a movie, I don't know if this sport is popular for the film industry to come and make a movie."

When asked about the actor who should do his biopic, Sharath said, "Probably somebody who is tall. So, we can probably have Vicky Kaushal."

Vicky Kaushal And Biopics

Clearly, Vicky is everyone's choice when it comes to biopics. Vicky has already starred in three biopics like Sardar Udham, Sam Bahadur, and Chhaava. In his movies like Sanju and Uri: The Surgical Strike, he played characters inspired by real-life people, and he already has one more biopic lined up.

The actor will be seen in Mahavatar which is based on Chiranjeevi Parashurama. The movie will be directed by Stree 2 fame actor Amar Kaushik.

Chhaava Box Office Collection

Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal this year gave a blockbuster like Chhaava. The film, which was a biopic of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, collected Rs. 600.6 crore at the box office. It is the second highest-grossing Hindi film.

We are sure the actor's fans are now waiting for his upcoming movies. He will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
