Hyderabad: Sometime back, director Praveen Sattaru announced that he would be making a biopic on the life of celebrated badminton player Pullela Gopichand.
Sudhir Babu was supposed to play the lead role; an apt choice for Sudhir Babu was himself a national player and has played alongside Gopichand. But to date, there has been no further news about the project and Praveen Sattaru is busy with ‘Guntur Talkies’.
Insiders say that the project may have been shelved. If that is the case then it is indeed a sad thing because Tollywood seldom gets to watch movies in that genre. It would also have been a fitting tribute to a badminton champ who made the Telugus proud.
