Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan are Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem's top picks for potential biopic on them
The thrilling javelin showdown between India's Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem at the Paris Olympics 2024 has captivated the world. With Nadeem securing gold and Chopra claiming silver, the duo has etched their names in sporting history. As the dust settles on this epic rivalry, the two athletes have shared their dream casting for potential biopics.
In the previous edition of the Olympics held in Tokyo, Neeraj Chopra made history by winning the gold medal in javelin, while Arshad Nadeem finished fifth. However, the tables turned in Paris when the 27-year-old Pakistani athlete, Arshad Nadeem, launched his javelin to an astonishing 92.97 meters, breaking a 16-year-old Olympic record. Neeraj Chopra, with a second-best career throw of 89.45 meters, secured the silver medal, adding another prestigious accolade to his already impressive list of achievements. Bollywood Icons Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan Named for Potential Biopics Following their success at the Paris Olympics, Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem were interviewed by the official broadcaster, Sports18 network, and JioCinema. During the interview, the athletes were asked a rather intriguing question: Which Bollywood actor would they choose to portray each other in a biopic about their careers?
Neeraj Chopra suggested that the legendary Amitabh Bachchan from his younger days would be the perfect fit to portray Arshad Nadeem in a biopic. He explained that someone with a tall stature and commanding presence like Amitabh Bachchan would be ideal for the role.
On the other hand, Arshad Nadeem took a moment to reflect before naming Shah Rukh Khan as his choice to play Neeraj Chopra. “Shah Rukh Khan has that energy and charisma," he said.
