[tps_footer]In an era when biopics are a rage in Bollywood, actor Prateik Babbar would love for a biopic to be made on his mother the late actress Smita Patil. And guess what? He feels Deepika Padukone would be the best fit to play the legendary yesteryear actress!

In a candid conversation, Prateik expressed that he is proud of the legacy his mom has left behind and further added, “Yes of course, she was the youngest actress to be in the panel of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. She has done amazing work and her personal as well as professional life is truly inspiring.”
