Bollywood seems to have developed a new love for biopics. They are making biopics on famous personalities ranging from sports, entertainment and politics.
'Sanju' was the latest blockbuster in this direction, while T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar's life is being made into 'Mogul'.
It remains to be seen if Sania's film gets lost in the long list or stands out.
