    Former Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi passed away aged 77 after a prolonged spell of illness on October 23, 2023.

    Revered as one of India's most exemplary bowlers, he was a part of India's golden generation of spin bowling, which dominated in the 1960s and '70s.

    Now, in an interview, his son-actor Angad Bedi has expressed the desire to make a biopic on him.

    What Angad said on unconfirmed biopic

    Angad told Peeping Moon, "I would love to make the film. I don't know if I'll be the right person to act in it but I would definitely would like to test for it."

    "If I'm physically fit to play the role...the maker feels I'm the correct person, and if I'm able to do justice, then I would definitely love to act," he added.

    He is currently looking for right director 

    Angad further said, "It's such a big personality, such a magnetic person that I don't know whether his story can be told through a film alone or does it needs to be told through a series of episodes. So that call I will have to take."

    The Ghoomer actor added he is currently looking for the right filmmaker who has followed his father's era.
