We all know 2016 was the year of Biopics. This genre of films are playing a crucial role in upbringing the life stories of the real heroes. The journey started a long back, but took its pace from Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Bhaag Milka Bhaag’, Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Mary Kom’, Sushant Singh Rajput’s MS Dhoni, Sonam Kapoor’s ‘Neerja’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’.
Every movie successfully left its impression on stereotypic audience taking the dignity of the Indian films to the whole new level.
And now, a biopic is all set to be made on the life of first Olympic silver medal winner PV Sindhu.
Yes, you heard it right!
Interestingly, the film would be produced by actor Sonu Sood. Yes, the Actor-producer Sonu Sood is set to paint Sindhu’s life and victory on the silver screen. He is extremely excited about this project and says that this is the right time to make a film on PV Sindhu.

“It feels great to make a biopic on P.V. Sindhu. It’s a story of a girl who have inspired millions of Indians and given a message that everyone can dream big and not only dream but achieve it too by working hard.
“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.”
He feels that this is the right time to make the film as the audience has started to give equal importance to other sports,
“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.”
When asked about who will play Sindhu on screen and who will helm the biopic, Sonu maintained,
“I’ve just begun talks, so it’s still too early to divulge that.”
