The latest buzz in Bollywood is that filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt is
planning a biopic on Saina Nehwal and that he is planning to rope in
Deepika Padukone to portray the badminton ace.
Bhatt told DC, “The
talks are on and it’s very early to discuss the movie. I can only
reveal that this idea was brought to me by my friend in Delhi and I
expressed desire (to make the film). Saina has made India proud with her
achievements and I’m sure making a film on her, will be definitely an
inspiration for others.”
Bhatt however, has never met Saina.
“But I have heard so much about her and that passion she has for the
game is commendable. Also, as a filmmaker, I’m definitely inspired by
sportspersons,” the director added. Saina too seems excited.
At an
event in Mumbai, the champ said Deepika Padukone will be 'perfect' for
the reel version of Saina Nehwal. True, because Deepika too comes from a
badminton legacy.After the success of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, looks
like Bollywood are favouring biopics, from Priyanka Chopra’s Mary Kom or
a film on Saina Nehwal.
