Couple of years back actor Sonu Sood said that he would love to make a biopic on badminton player and Olympic medallist PV Sindhu.
While there are speculations that Deepika Padukone might be roped in to play Sindhu in the film, Sonu Sood has confirmed that he will portray the character of former badminton player and chief national coach of the Indian badminton team, Pullela Gopichand.
In an interview, the actor said, “I will be playing the role of Pullela Gopichand in the PV Sindhu biopic. It’s an honour to be able to portray him on screen. He also knows about it. I have met him a couple of times. It makes me feel proud that I’ll be portraying someone of his stature on screen. I am looking forward to it.”
Speaking about the movie, Sonu said, “We are in the final stages of locking the technicians, and hopefully, will be making an announcement soon. We will finalise the cast and crew by the end of this year. Around the same time, we will also start prepping. And if things fall in place as planned, then we might start shooting by the end of this year or by early 2020.”
