Prateik Babbar would love to see a biopic on his mother Smita Patil and he even has a title in mind. He believed it should be called Ek Thi Smita. He said, “People have talked about a film on my mother. And I am excited about it. In such a short span, it was one hell of a life lived. It is special. I would love to have a movie made on her.”
Regarded as one of the finest actors in Hindi and Marathi cinema, Smita acted in over 80 films in her career spanning over a decade. When probed if there were any apprehensions in telling her story, Prateik conceded that he doesn’t know if his family is okay with the biopic. He added, “I am not the only one to give a green signal to it...it has to be a collective decision of the family. It is a sensitive thing.”
Smita, who was married to Raj Babbar, passed away in 1986 at the age of 31, barely two weeks after giving birth to Prateik, due to some complications.
