Actors these days surely seem to be lining up to play characters in biopics. After Irrfan played athlete turned rebel Paan Singh Tomar and Farhan Akhtar gearing up to play athlete Milkha Singh in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, it seems superstar Shah Rukh Khan might also jump on the biopic bandwagon.
Sources claim that a biopic on hockey legend Dhyan Chand is on the cards and none other that Shah Rukh Khan has been approached to play the sportsman. Confirming the news, Khan was quoted to have said, "Yes, I have been approached for a movie based on legendary Dhayn Chandji's life. Hockey as a sport is not new to me and I have played a lot of hockey during my school and college days." Khan however claimed that he has not yet given the nod to the project.
Incidentally, the King Khan played a hockey player turned coach in Chak De India, which went on to become a major hit and is considered one of the finest sports based movie in Bollywood.
