2021 was a golden year for golden boy Neeraj Chopra. The star athlete not only won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in Javelin Throw but also became an inspiration of 1.3 billion people. Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana too is among many admirers of Chopra. The actor recently revealed himself that he is inspired by real-life people and that includes Neeraj too. In a chat, he even expressed his wish to play Neeraj in his biopic, if it is made in future.
“I’m constantly inspired by real people who do extraordinary things. Right now, I’m hugely inspired by Neeraj Chopra and what this youth icon has achieved on the world stage and made our nation incredibly proud” Khurrana said. He further added that if Olympian doesn’t want to play himself in his biopic, he would love to work in it.
Appreciating the athlete, Khurrana said, “The resolve and the nerves of steel that he showcased at the Olympics to win gold for India needs to be saluted. I would love to play him in a biopic if it’s made in the near future and if Neeraj chooses to not play himself on screen. Such achievements need to be celebrated and the life stories of such heroes need to be told to people across the country.”
Meanwhile, Ayushmann is currently riding high in the success of Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. His performance as Manvir in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui is being praised.
