From films such Paan Singh Tomar, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Mary Kom celebrating the achievements of sports icons, biopics are undeniably the most prominent form of film-making in Hindi cinema today. In fact, depicting a film on the life of a real sporting icon is growing so much in popularity that another B-Town celebrity has been approached for a movie-project alike!
The number one Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar has apparently spoke with director Rohit Jugraj who is keen to cast Akshay in a biopic about the late Dara Singh. However, before Akshay was even approached, NDTV revealed that Jugraj felt it was important to speak with Dara Singh’s son Vindoo about the project in that he should feel comfortable with sharing his father’s life journey on celluloid.
