Gearing up to start production on Pullela Gopichand biopic, south star Sudheer Babu says an artiste must concentrate on capturing the “soul” of the personality when playing a real-life character on screen.
Gopichand, a former All England Champion, is currently the national badminton coach and has played a key role in establishing PV Sindhu’s career. After his retirement from active sport, he founded the Gopichand Badminton Academy in 2008 in Hyderabad. The movie, a bilingual biopic in Hindi and Telugu, will narrate the shuttler’s journey on and off the court.
Babu, who has been a professional badminton player, said his preparation for the role involves brushing up his skills. “I know the game so I have an edge. It is not required to train too much about badminton as I already know some skills, I will have to just sharpen them a little bit,” Babu told PTI.
