‘Randeep Hooda or Akshay Kumar’: What Neeraj Chopra said about his choice for the lead role in his biopic three years ago

Since Neeraj Chopra won Gold in Tokyo Olympics, his old interviews and tweets are making rounds across social media platforms. During an interview in 2018 with The Quint, Chopra had said if a biopic is ever made in his life, he would like to see Randeep Hooda or Akshay Kumar portraying him on the screen. He had said, “If a biopic is ever made on my life, it would be great. The actors I like are Randeep Hooda from Haryana, and if we talk about Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is perfect.”

Akshay and Randeep wished the Olympic Gold Medallist

After Chopra secured the Gold on the javelin, many celebrities congratulated him on social media platforms, including his two favourites Randeep and Akshay. Actor Randeep Hooda said, “Lath gaad diya, literally!” It is a Haryanavi idiom that means “fixing one’s position”.

Actor Akshay Kumar said, “It’s a GOLD. Heartiest Congratulations, Neeraj Chopra, on creating history. You’re responsible for a billion tears of joy! Well done!”

Netizens foresee the future

As soon as Chopra secured the Gold, netizens started to foresee a biopic on him in the future and mocked Akshay Kumar in the process.
