New Delhi: Indian opener Gautam Gambhir on Monday clarified his stand on the issue of biopics on the lives of cricketers.
Earlier, the left-hander created a controversy after stating that cricketers didn't deserve biopics and that there were several more important people in the country.
"Not at all, I don’t believe in biopics on cricketers. I think those people, who have contributed more to the country than the cricketers, deserve a biopic. There are lots of people in the country who have done so many noble deeds for the nation. Therefore biopics should be made on their lives," Gambhir told the media.

After the Uri attack, Gambhir tweeted that soldiers deserve a biopic on them more than anyone.
These 17 martyrs deserv a biopic rather dan any cricketer. No better inspiration dan a young man sacrificing his life 4 his country.

Several people assumed that Gautam's comments were in connection with MS Dhoni's biopic.
However, the Delhi batsman said that wasn't true.
My detractors got it wrong. Am not against ANY ONE cricketer's biopic, am against d very concept which includes a biopic on my life.
