Deepika Padukone is currently working on Kabir Khan’s ’83 alongside partner Ranveer Singh.

Actor Sonu Sood announced recently that he had acquired the rights to make a biopic on the star badminton player PV Sindhu and if reports are to be believed, Deepika Padukone will feature as the lead star player in the film.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the badminton star reportedly said, “Would definitely want Deepika Padukone to play the character. She had played the game and is a good actor too. But then, the makers would take the final decision.”

Deepika Padukone has been a professional badminton player herself and is also the daughter of former World number 1 badminton player, Prakash Padukone.

There have also been rumours suggesting that Akshay Kumar might star as Sindhu’s coach Pullela Gopichand while many have also suggested that Sood, himself will play the part of coach when the film is expected to begin rolling at the end of 2019.

On the other hand, a biopic on fellow badminton star Saina Nehwal is under development and Parineeti Chopra is leading the project. While Shradhha Kapoor was earlier part of it, Chopra was signed on later.

Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone will soon be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Chhapaak alongside Vikrant Massey. The film is scheduled to release on 1 January 2020.
