Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor shared his thoughts on the possibility of a biopic based on his life, revealing some interesting insights into his choice of actor to play him. Kapoor, who is a household name thanks to his popular show Khana Khazana and his numerous culinary achievements, discussed his preference for Vicky Kaushal, long before the actor gained widespread fame.
Vicky Kaushal: A Surprising Pick Before Fame
In conversation with Bani Anand on her podcast, Sanjeev recalled an earlier conversation with his batchmate Puneet Chatwal, the CEO of Taj Hotel, about the actor who would be a good fit to portray him in a biopic. Kapoor had seen Masaan, a film that left a lasting impact on him, and expressed his belief that Vicky Kaushal, who was not as famous at the time, would be a perfect choice. He added that he had already discussed the idea well before Kaushal rose to prominence in Bollywood.
A Mysterious Biopic Project
Kapoor also shared how he had approached a few big stars to discuss the idea of making his biopic, although he did not name the celebrities. Despite the initial discussions, Kapoor maintained a level of mystery about the project.
Earlier, during a chat with Twinkle Khanna, Kapoor had been asked who he would choose to play him in his own biopic. Without hesitation, Kapoor had mentioned his long-time friend and Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar as the ideal actor to bring his story to life.
