Wednesday, 14th Oct 2015, 4:15 PM IST Shammi Kapoor and Geeta Bali's son Aditya Raj Kapoor says that he has no idea about Bhagwan Dada’s biopic titled ‘Ek Albela’ in which actress Vidya Balan will be playing the role of his mother. Aditya said, "No one has approached me about information on my mother on this film. We know nothing about it except what has appeared in the public domain. Which is fine. I am sure the makers are capable of doing justice to the film. But I could have told them so much about Geetaji. No one knew her the way I do. I was only 9 when she suddenly died. But she left an indelible impression on me and my sister." Aditya wonders which portion of his mother’s life will be shown in the film. "Is it just the film Albela? There are so many undisclosed aspects to my mom's personality," he said. However, he has full faith in Vidya’s acting ability. Aditya said, "She is a very capable actress. And I am sure she will play my mother with dignity grace and conviction. If at any time Vidya or the film's director wishes to talk to me about my mother I would most be willing to do so." Aditya is writing a biography on his mother which will be out by next year. He said, "It will be out by next year. It will go into areas of her personality that no one knows about. Do you know she was responsible for my father Shammi Kapoor's 'yahoo' image? She pulled him out of his obsession with socialist cinema and gave him this new wild sexy image. My father's famous dance moves were actually my mother's steps. If you see her dancing in Kidar Sharma's ‘Jab Se Tumhe Dekha Hai’ she moves exactly the way my father became famous doing."
