Late actor Om Puri will be immortalised on the silver screen as his estranged wife, Nandita Puri, is planning a biopic on the critically acclaimed actor’s life. Nandita, who authored his biography ‘Unlikely Hero: The Story of Om Puri’, will be adapting the same book to make the film. Nandita is apparently working on the script and has not yet finalised as to who will portray the legendary actor in front of the camera. Back in 2009, when the biography was released, Om Puri had expressed displeasure with Nandita spilling the beans on his explicit private encounters. However, with the biopic, she plans to highlight Om Puri’s struggle at the FTII (Film And Television Institute of India), and his journey in the entertainment industry. Om Puri, known for his performances in ‘Aakrosh’ and ‘Ardh Satya’, passed away in January this year at the age of 66.
