The biopics on legendary sportsmen seem to be the flavour of the season. After Paan Singh Tomar and Bhaag Mikha Bhaag, a film on legendary hockey player Dhyan Chand is the pipeline. If all goes well, Shah Rukh Khan will portray the role of the legend in the film.
SRK comes as a natural choice considering his natural inclination for the sports as he has been both hockey and soccer captain in his college days. A film on Dhyan Chand, who is most likely to be awarded with Bharat Ratna this year, will be Khan’s second film on the sport after Chak De India in 2007.
Interestingly, meanwhile, there are other filmmakers like Satyajeet Puri who too who are keen to put the life of Chand on celluloid under the production banner of Manmohan Shetty’s Walkwater Media. So, it will be interesting to wait and watch whether SRK will really pay tribute to the sportsman or some other actor will do the honours.
