A biopic is usually offered to an established actor or somebody who is a couple of films old. But Sooraj Pancholi seems to have defied the norm. The one-movie-old actor has been signed to play an Indian boxing legend in a sports biopic, which will go on floors by the end of this year.

The Hero actor is tight-lipped about the role and the director but tells us that the makers wanted somebody who was in his late 20s or early 30s to play the protagonist. “I auditioned for the film. I sent a couple of self reels to the director, producer and literally begged them to cast me because I am a huge fan of the script. I always wanted to do a biopic, especially one on sports,” he admits. The prep for the movie has begun. “It’s not only physical training but since the film has a rural setting, the diction is different as well. I have been practising it daily,” he says.

Technically, this is his fourth film. Post his debut in 2015, Sooraj has completed the shoot of Stanley D’Costa’s Time To Dance, in which he is paired with Isabelle Kaif, Katrina Kaif’s sister who makes her Bollywood debut with the movie. “We just have to film two more songs for it. Also, Satellite Shankar is ready and is slated to release on September 6,” he says, adding that the latter is really special to him and to all those connected with the Irfan Kamal directorial.

Someone rather should do a boxing on his face and kick him out of Bollywood. Can't believe he's still trying to establish his career after all those things that he did with Jiah Khan.😡

Nothing was proven? Oh really?? Apparently Jiah Khan and Sooraj used to live together and in Jiah's suicide note she clearly stated that she was abused for countless times and she had to abort her unborn child too. Her mental suffering was such tremendous that it led her to take such life-ending decision. And still you're saying that nothing was proven when she had stated everything by her own? At least people should have some sympathy..
