Speaking about the idea’s germination, Sonu Sood said that, when Sindhu won the Olympic medal (last year), he thought of making a biopic on her and immediately started researching on the same. On discovering about her rigorous routine for practicing the game, Sonu Sood got highly impressed and thus got motivated to make the biopic. He also added that, in a country which was dominated by cricket, it was only time to have a story made on badminton. In the same breath, he said that, the said film will inspire youngsters (mostly girls), to pursue their dream in sports and thus make their country proud. When asked about the name chosen to play the titular role of PV Sindhu, Sonu Sood said that since he had just begun the talks, it was too early to divulge that.
