Sports biopics have time and again created a lot of buzz in Bollywood. The audience has for long been anticipating if there is a possibility of a biopic of Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra. While no filmmaker has yet planned to take on the project, Neeraj Chopra himself shared his views on the same. Although he believes it is too early for a biography on him, he stated that Randeep Hooda would be an appropriate actor to play his part.
Fans have been anxiously anticipating a Bollywood biopic about Javelin star Neeraj Chopra’s journey to success, following his inspiring gold and silver medal triumphs in the Olympics, as well as his extraordinary exploits in numerous championships. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Neeraj was questioned about his thoughts on a possible biopic. Reacting to the same, he stated, “I feel biopics should be made after a person retires. We have seen movies made on milestones, but mere hisaab se jitna aur add kar sakein career mein, country ke liye kuch kar sakein aur javelin ko apne desh mein aur popular kar sake utna acha hoga (According to me, making a biopic later will ensure that all the important contributions of the person can be included, and he wants to make the javelin throw popular in the country his biopic).”
Furthermore, the javelin champion was asked if he had a specific actor in mind who could play his role on screen. Neeraj stated that he believes Randeep Hooda would be a good possibility. He asserted, “I can only think of Randeep Hooda. He is a great actor and he is from Haryana. Jo bhi role play karega woh wahan ki language sahi se bole woh zaroori hai (Whoever plays the role should be able to say my language properly).”
On the professional front, Randeep Hooda last appeared in the film, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. The actor has done biographical drama films like Sarbjit as well.
