Sania Mirza to get own biopic

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, on Friday, announced that a biopic on her life and career will be made by Bollywood film-maker Ronnie Screwvala soon, reported The Hindu. The sports superstar has signed a contract for the biopic and the initial work on the film has already begun.

“It’s great. The talks [for the biopic] have been going on for a while. The contract was signed. We are just looking forward to it,” Mirza said on the sidelines of an event recently.

Mirza, the only Indian woman tennis player to win a Grand Slam title (in doubles), said the making of the biopic was in the initial stages. “It’s all going to be mutual understanding. I think that obviously my input is important because it’s my story. So, I will have to help out,” she added. “We are literally in the very initial stages. So, we just announced it today. It will slowly get into the director, the writing and after that, the casting. It’s still a bit long way to go,” she said when asked how she wished the film to come out and her inputs for the film.



Mirza’s biopic will be the latest in a long list of biographical films on sports personalities coming out of Bollywood, much like Mary Kom, Dangal, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and M S Dhoni.
