PV Sindhu Biopic To Roll Out This Year

It was earlier reported that actor Sonu Sood had procured the rights to the biopic on badminton champion Pusarla Venkata Sindhu (PV Sindhu), which was titled Sindhu back then. The actor had said that her story and her win at the Olympics in 2016 had driven him to reach out to her. However, it's

been over two years, and the project has not rolled out yet.
 
When asked about the delay, Sonu, who plans to roll out the film by the
end of this year, said, "The biggest challenge while making a biopic is the
writing and the casting. The script is finally ready. We have recently locked
it and are now planning to work further on the modalities.
 
"Once you decide to narrate the story of a sportsperson such as PV Sindhu, you have to do justice to it. The responsibility of telling her story correctly has been giving me sleepless nights. I can't go wrong with this one."
 
Talking about Sindhu's involvement in the film, he said, "She's very involved with the biopic. I've met her so many times after I got the rights to the film. I've also met her coach Pullela Gopichand and her father PV Ramana.
 
"My writers have spent time with her family, friends and several other sportspersons, who know her well. It all added to the research and helped us to come up with a promising script, which plays on emotions and relationships in a big way.
 
"It took me so long to finalise the script because I didn't like what my previous writers had put together. I started making notes myself, and then, got my friend Himanshu involved in it. He was also a part of the writing team of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. We are happy with what we have now."
Now that the script is locked, we asked Sonu whether he has zeroed in on actors for the two most important roles in the film, that of Sindhu and her coach, Gopichand.
 
"I don't want to get into a zone where I have to wait till eternity to make this film. You can't teach someone to play world-class badminton in just a few months. It's important that the leading lady knows the game well, which makes it a challenging task for us.
 
"Every film comes with its destiny. I don't know who is destined to play Sindhu, but yes, Deepika Padukone has always been our first choice and that holds true even today.
 
"I didn't approach her back then because I wanted her to read the final script. Hawa mein baatein karne se koi faayda nahi hota. Now, when we give her the script, we'll know if she's game to be a part of this biopic. With her, we know we're on home ground because she knows the sport very well."
