Thanks to the immense success of the Sanjay Dutt 'biopic', Sanju, the genre is back in being the film-makers' favourite category to make a movie these days. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, that has been directed by the blockbuster film-maker Rajkumar Hirani, has already grossed Rs 200 crore at the box office and is on its way to earning more bucks. Encouraged by the success of the film, there are plans to make a biopic on another controversial star who loves the booze and that happens to be Kapil Sharma.

In a report in Mid-Day, director Vinod Tiwari reveals that he wants to make a biopic on the popular television personality and actor, Kapil Sharma, after having been inspired by Sanju. Of course, like Dutt, Sharma has seen his fair share of controversies over his alcohol issues, and tiff with his cast-members and media.

Vinod Tiwari is currently busy in the marketing activities of his upcoming movie, Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle. Speaking to the publication, he revealed, "After watching Sanju, I am inspired to make a biopic and I feel (a) biopic on Kapil Sharma will be worth it. It’s a story that needs to be out. In 2010, we wanted to make a film with Kapil ji, but producers Surendra Puri and Nostrum couldn’t do it then. Now, they are also keen on a biopic.”

While Kapil Sharma himself is the first choice for the director to play the lead in his biopic, there is also an interesting alternative. He wants, Krushna Abhishek, the lead star of Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle, to take on the role. Known the bitter equation that Sharma and Abhishek share, we wonder how this can be possible. But Tiwari is confident about the casting as he said, "I feel, Krushna Abhishek will be perfect for the role as they are known for their comic timing. He will do justice to Kapil ji’s character."
