Director Praveen Sattaru is making veteran badminton player and India coach Pullela Gopichand's biographical film with the latter's double game partner, close pal and actor Sudheer Babu portraying the sportsman's role.
Praveen Sattaru has already completed preparing script and he has got acceptance from Gopichand Malineni who is the man behind PV Sindhu winning silver medal at Rio Olympics. It will be interesting to see, whether Praveen will add Sindhu's victorious moments in the film or not.
India is a country where cricket dominates all the sports, including our national game hockey. In fact, Gopichand who won All England Open Badminton Championships in 2001 has brought glamour to badminton by making champions.
Gopichand has trained players like PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal to become champions. While Saina won bronze medal in London Olympics in 2012, Sindhu is first Indian player to win silver in badminton.
As said by Sindhu and her parents, Gopichand's training and motivation are the prime reason for Sindhu reaching the heights in career.
The biopic will focus on Gopichand's personal career and also the period of training young players. If Praveen Sattaru adds PV Sindhu's portions, then the movie will go to next level. In fact, if rightly made, the movie has scope to reach nationwide.
Gopichand and Sudheer Babu both are known faces in south and north. Sudheer Babu stunned Bollywood spectators with his stunning stunts in Bollywood debut movie Baaghi.
The film, to be made in Hindi and Telugu, will be produced by Abhisek Nama. It is expected to be shot in Hyderabad, Lucknow, Bengaluru and Birmingham. The movie will be launched in November this year.
