Bollywood actor Sonu Sood decides to take up this project and has already begun research on the shuttler's life after she won the Silver medal in Rio.
"When Sindhu won the Olympic medal, I thought of making a biopic on her and started researching. Reading about her journey -she would travel 50 kms daily to the badminton camp from her home to practise -I was motivated to make this film," said to DNA.
Your journey n achievements will inspire the world my buddy.. 👍🏼👍🏼🏆🏆🏆 https://t.co/BZ3o6JQyu3

He further added,
"Considering that other sports, besides cricket, have been gaining prominence in the country since the last few years, I think it's the right time to tell a story about our badminton champ, who is the first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver. Sindhu's parents -father PV Ramana and mother Vijaya -were professional volleyball players. While Vijaya was a national level player, Ramana was part of the Indian team that won the bronze at the 1986 Asian Games. Sindhu opted for and excelled in badminton, is an Arjuna Awardee and also a Padma Shri. So, I think a film like this will inspire youngsters, more so girls, to pursue their dream in sports and make the country proud."
The cast is yet to be decided as the major work is in process. Sindhu responding to this said,
"I'm honoured and pleased to know that Sonu has decided to make a biopic on my life. I'm very impressed with the thorough research that his team has done for the last eight months. They have written a script, which I'm sure will inspire millions of Indians and our youth to dare to dream and achieve glory for their country, in spite of all the hardships and hurdles that we face in our journeys."
Looks like it is going to be clash of titans on the big screen too!
