Actor Arjun Kapoor, who is currently riding high on the success of his latest release "Ki & Ka", says he will like to be part of a biopic only if he relates to the character he gets to portray.

The 30-year-old actor says an actor should do a biopic only if the character connects and not just because everyone is doing it.

"You should do a biopic when it connects with you. It should not be done because everyone is doing it," Arjun told IANS.

The "Gunday" star says he would only be interested to be part of a biopic if he gets a "genuine script" and if he could relate to the person he will be seen playing on-screen.

"If a genuine script comes to me and if I feel I can play that character and it connects with me, then of course I will consider it (biopic)," he added.

Arjun is currently prepping for his next "Half Girlfriend", an adaptation of the eponymous novel of the same name written by author Chetan Bhagat, directed by Mohit Suri.

He says he is not just "looking for a biopic specifically"

"I am looking to (do) all kind of films," he added.
