Of late, many actresses are joining the bandwagon of biopics. Recently, Shraddha Kapoor was roped in to play the role of popular Marathi stage artist and Lavani dancer Vithabai Narayangaonkar.
Rashmika Mandanna is starring in the biopic of legendary Carnatic singer M.S. Subbulakshmi. She is currently undergoing training for the role to get the expressions and mannerisms right.
Kiara Advani is playing the role of renowned actress Meena Kumari. It is a challenging task for Rashmika and Shraddha Kapoor to bring such legendary personalities to life on screen. Earlier, Keerthy Suresh played the role of legendary actress Savitri in Mahanati, for which she won the National Award.
If Shraddha Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna manage to captivate audiences with their performances, more actresses could be encouraged to take up biopics. It is a refreshing change for actresses and movie lovers to see leading stars step away from conventional glamorous roles and take on characters with the weight and legacy of real-life icons.
