Kunal
Kapoor,
who
has
been
writing
stories
since
working
as
an
assistant
director
is
finally
inching
towards
his
dream
of
becoming
a
filmmaker.
The
actor
has
revealed
that
he
is
turning
producer
with
a
biopic
on
India's
Winter
Olympian
Shiva
Keshavan.
Kunal
has
chosen
the
biopic
of
Shiva
Keshavan
to
start
his
career
as
a
storyteller.
Shiva
Keshavan
is
considered
India's
greatest
Winter
Olympian.
Shiva
called
India's
fastest
man
on
ice
is
also
known
for
his
determination
to
the
sport.
He
represented
the
country
in
six
consecutive
Winter
Olympics
and
was
also
its
lone
representative
during
the
1998
and
2002
Games.
Talking
about
Shiva,
Kunal
added,
"He
is
an
amazing
athlete.
What
drew
me
to
Shiva
Keshavan
was
not
only
the
fact
that
he
has
represented
India
in
the
Olympics
six
times,
but
that
it
was
also
a
story
about
the
spirit
of
India
and
the
incredible
things
we
manage
to
achieve
with
limited
resources.
It's
a
story
of
resilience
and
the
path
less
taken;
it's
also
a
celebration
of
our
culture
and
diversity."
The
Rang
De
Basanti
actor
opened
up
about
becoming
a
producer
and
said,
"I've
been
writing
stories
since
my
days
as
an
assistant
director
and
I
would
love
to
bring
those
stories
to
life
not
only
as
an
actor
but
also
as
a
producer
and
director."
He
believes
actors
have
little
control
over
what
stories
they
get
a
chance
to
tell.
"You
can
only
choose
from
what
you
are
offered
and
you're
part
of
someone
else's
vision.
But
as
a
producer,
you
have
a
chance
to
bring
your
own
vision
to
life." he
added.
Kunal
said
he
believes
that
there
isn't
a
better
time
than
now
to
become
a
storyteller.
A
TOI
report
quoted
him
saying,
"I
think
this
is
the
best
time
to
be
a
storyteller.
When
I
was
starting
off,
there
was
a
certain
kind
of
cinema
being
made.
Films
that
had
to
fit
into
a
mould,
which
has
now
been
broken.
The
audience
is
exposed
to
so
much
content
from
across
the
world,
that
they
are
open
to
different
stories
and
new
ways
of
storytelling."
The
actor
said
he
is
also
excited
about
working
with
the
new
generation
of
technicians.
Praising
new
talent
he
added,
they
"think
in
a
way
that
is
original
and
unique,"
and
have
brought
in
exciting
films
which
are
rooted
in
India.
"Stories
from
small
towns,
of
unsung
heroes
and
about
the
history
of
our
country,"
he
concluded.
