As reported by Times of India, at a recent outing,Sharmila expressed her desire for a biopic on Pataudi by converting his autobiography into a full-length feature film. “If somebody directs it properly and does proper research, his life was full of interesting things – about the accident, losing his father, playing cricket with such a handicap, it’s quite interesting,” Sharmila said. Pataudi’s daughter Saba Ali Khan also expressed the same views and looked excited. Sharmila tied the knot with Pataudi in 1969 during her peak period of film career. The couple were blessed with three children — Saif Ali Khan, Saba Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. All three went on to become actors and Saif is the most successful among them.
