I enjoy the creative and acting process which goes in biopics. Normally, we get to play characters who live in a limited timeframe so an audience doesn&rsquo;t to see the growth of the character. For example, in case of Gurukant Desai (referring to the 2007 Mani Ratnam film, Guru) it was a huge kick how things evolved and it is all very exciting how you walk, your speech how you slow down with the age and everything. I am really looking forward to doing another biopic.&rdquo; Abhishek is planning to produce two biopics and is working out on details for the same. However, he is not willing to reveal much about them and gingerly said. &ldquo;I am working on two biopics now and if you ask me at a gunpoint then the character I would really ove to play, would be my grandfather. It is going to be a Herculean task although a lot of research material would be available for me at home but a lot of attention would have to be paid to it. I know my audience expect a lot from me and I believe they should.&rdquo; On the legend Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a noted Hindi poet, best known for his most famous work, Madhushala.
