Mumbai: Actress Vaani Kapoor would love to do a biopic and says it would be an absolute honour for her to play astronaut Kalpana Chawala on screen. “Kalpana Chawla is a huge role model for women around the world and for anyone who has ever dreamt of being an astronaut. She’s an inspiration and her story is definitely one to be celebrated and told. I would really, really want to play her onscreen. It’ll be an absolute honour,” she said. Vaani feels she would love to take risks as an artiste and try her hand at doing the biopic and also experiment with several other genres. “I’ve tried to pick the best from what came my way and it feels amazing to have worked with some of the best in the industry. I have been able to get opportunities for roles so distinctive. From the small-town girl Tara in Shudh Desi Romance to a girl who is French in Befikre, to an independent single mother in War, to a completely different era in Shamshera, it’s been pretty good,” she said. Talking about what attracts her to sign a film, Vaani said: “It’s about connecting to a story and then to the character. I try and pick parts that can be diverse, yet meaningful, and exciting.”
