Neeraj Chopra bagged a gold medal in javelin throw at the ongoing games, thus making it an iconic moment of 2021 for India. Even before the buzz begins on the internet about the filmmakers planning to make a biopic on him, an old interview video has caught our attention. Neeraj, in one of his old interviews with The Quint, revealed that he wants to see either Randeep Hooda or Akshay Kumar play him in the biopic.
We are not sure how old this video is. In it, Neeraj Chopra was also asked why he thought Randeep and Akshay would be apt for the role. To this, the star athlete said he liked that Randeep hails from Haryana. He was quoted as saying, “It’ll be great if a biopic is made.
