Around a week ago, a biopic on Indian weightlifting legend Karnam Malleswari was announced under the direction of young filmmaker Sanjana Reddy. To be made as a multilingual pan-Indian film, the film will showcase Malleswari’s inspiring journey to Olympic glory.
Initially, there were reports that the biopic’s makers had approached Malayalam beauty Nithya Menen to play the titular in this prestigious biopic. However, Nithya reportedly refused to sign the movie as she will be busy with Jayalalithaa biopic in the coming months.
Now, the latest buzz is that the Malleswari biopic team is planning to approach popular Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar to play the leading lady’s role. The film will be jointly bankrolled by noted writer Kona Venkat and MVV Satyanarayana.
