Dia who played the role of Sanjay Dutt’s current wife Maanayata Dutt in the film, now says that she wants to make a biopic on the life of eminent painter Amrita Sher-Gil. She revealed her plans as she was out on a media interaction for ‘Save The Children’ campaign. 

Speaking of biopic films, Dia said, “I am intrigued by lots of true life stories. I think in our country, there are lots of stories which can be converted into films. If I would have to do any biopic, then I would have made a biopic on Amrita Sher-Gil because she was an artist. She made her mark globally through her art but she passed away at a young age and she was also fond of children.”

On audience’s response to Sanju, Dia happily said, “The kind of love and appreciation that the film is getting, the entire team is really happy about it and it is really overwhelming that people are liking the film. I feel proud that I got an opportunity to be part of such good film and more than that, I feel blessed to work with good people who are involved in the film.”
