Mary Kom to be immortalized in Film!

Keyed up about making a movie on Olympic bronze-winning champion Mary Kom, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is producing the film, said that he was proud to be a part of it. “It is an inspiring story that touched my heart. Not many films are based on biopics of living people, so this is a rare experiment. I am proud that I am part of this film,” he said.
“Even after achieving so much, she comes across as a simple and humble human being. Mary Kom is someone who every single person in India is very proud of. She has come a long way. It's such a wonderful story of her life,” says Bhansali.

Bhansali, who is famous for his portrayal of strong women characters like the protagonist of ‘Black’ (played by Rani Mukherjee), the heroine in ‘Devdas’ (characterised by Madhuri Dixit as Chandhamukhi), and a cheerful Sofia in 'Guzaarish' (acted out by Aishwarya Rai), feels that whoever is finalised to play the part of Mary in the upcoming film should train with her to attain the right posture and antics.

The casting of the film has not been settled on yet, since filling the shoes of Mary Kom is no easy task. Consequently, the makers of this film do not have the intention of leaving any stone unturned in their search for a suitable actress.

However, there are press reports saying that the protagonist is expected be a new face and not necessarily an established actress.
