Biopic on Abhinav Bindra soon to go on floors

Biopic on Olympics gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra is in development stage and will soon go on floors.

Producer Prerna Arora, who is backing a biopic says, it is a difficult project as the makers have to be cautious while presenting the story in an honest way. It is the first time Prerna is working on a sports biopic, and she believes a lot of responsibility comes with such films.

“this project we have to be accurate, we can't afford to make mistakes with the content. The scripting is still on. It is in development stage. It will go on floors either December or early next year,” said Prerna.

Recently, the biopic on flight attendant Neerja Bhanot and sportsman Milkha Singh was embroiled in a controversy. However, Prerna says she will make sure her film does not face such issues.

“Today, taking the rights of the person for a film, on whom it is based, has become essential. We have to respect this collaboration. We will be making sure that nothing goes wrong. We want to give credit to every person who is attached to the film personally as well as professionally.”

Prerna says Bindra is helping makers in understanding and bringing his life story alive to the big screen.

According to earlier reports, Mirzya actor Harshvardhan Kapoor will play the role of Abhinav Bindra .
