Ahead of ‘Oppenheimer’s Release, 5 Indian Scientists Who Deserve Similar Biopic Creation | See List

Biopics have become the new trend in the cinematic world with powerful performances, meaningful plots, and a connection to real life which usually strikes a chord with the audience. There are several biopics in Bollywood which were super hit at the box office including 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', 'MS Dhoni', and 'Dangal.'

Sports biopics have majorly taken over Bollywood but we have seen very less scientist-based biopics in the Hindi Film Industry. Now, as fans gear up for the release of 'Oppenheimer' by Christopher Nolan, let's take a look at some of the popular and surprising Indian-origin scientists whose lives stand to be the perfect plot and inspiration for biopics.
