Didn`t want my second film to be biopic: Omung Kumar

After the success of his debut directorial "Mary Kom", through which he told Olympic bronze medallist MC Mary Kom&39;s story on the big screen, Omung Kumar is working on another biopic. But he says he wanted to avoid making a film of the same genre.
His new movie will be a biopic on Sarabjit Singh, late Indian death row prisoner in Pakistan.
"I had earlier decided not to make a biopic again, and I didn&39;t plan to make a biopic on Sarabjit. There was a good story in place, so I&39;m making the film. I had thought I&39;ll make a biopic perhaps after I try a few more films, but this story turned out to be so good that I kept all other stories aside and chose to proceed with this one," Kumar told IANS.
Despite being only a film-old as a director, Kumar, a successful set designer, has carved a niche for himself with his fresh style of filmmaking.
Asked about it, he said: "When there are new minds, obviously there are new kinds of thoughts. Audiences are adapting according to this thinking. Change comes about on its own...I&39;ve been in this industry for many years now and perhaps I&39;ll also make these kinds of commercial cinema some years later."
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been finalised for playing the role of Sarabjit&39;s sister Dalbir Kaur in the film, while Randeep Hooda will be essaying the character of Sarabjit.
