Is Deepika being considered to play PV Sindhu in biopic?
What's the story
Deepika Padukone, who will soon be seen in Chhapaak (based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal), might have another biopic in her kitty. Reportedly, she's being considered to play badminton champion PV Sindhu for a biopic. In fact, Sindhu also expressed her desire to see Deepika essaying her role in the movie. "She had played the game and is a good actor," she highlighted.
Statement
"Would definitely want Deepika to play the character"
According to media reports, Sindhu's biopic will be made by actor Sonu Sood, who had acquired the rights of the movie around two years ago. Ever since there has been a buzz about which actress would step into Sindhu's shoes for the big screen. Talking about the same, the world champion had told Hindustan Times, "Would definitely want Deepika Padukone to play the character."
Player
Deepika is a badminton pro, played at national level
Deepika would certainly be an apt choice for Sindhu's biopic, given her familiarity with the game. To note, the actress, who is the daughter of former badminton champion Prakash Padukone, is a professional badminton player herself, and has played at the national level. However, the makers are yet to take a call about roping in the Bajirao Mastani actress for the project.
