Olympic Sprinter Dutee Chand Thinks Kangana Ranaut Can Perfectly Portray Her Onscreen

Olympic sprinter Dutee Chand is the country’s first ever athlete to come forward and confess that she is in a same-sex relationship. While there were many who were happy for her, there were some who even strongly opposed for it. And with this, it was known that a biopic on her can soon be expected but who will be able to acquire the rights and which actress would be roped in to portray the athlete onscreen. Well, in an interview to a leading daily, Dutee Chand has stated that she thinks Kangana Ranaut can perfectly portray her onscreen, to which the Bollywood actress has also given her response.

In an interview to Bombay Times, Dutee Chand expressed how besides Anil Kapoor and Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra, how other celebs have also approached her for the rights to her biopic and documentary. But she has not agreed to any of them yet. When which actress asked should portray her life on the big screens, Dutee Chand said, “Finalising an actress is the job of the producer and director. It usually happens only after they are ready with a story. I’ve seen films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Dangal and Mary Kom. I think Priyanka Chopra did a very good job in Mary Kom. While I don’t know who will eventually be selected, I think Kangana Ranaut can portray me perfectly on screen, I like her as an actress.” Is Kangana Ranaut Being Paid Rs 24 Crores for Jayalalithaa Biopic?

Kangana Ranaut must definitely be happy after hearing this! When the Queen actress was asked to comment on this she told BT, “That’s very kind of Duteeji. She is the epitome of courage and strength and she has not only set a benchmark in her professional life, but the kind of courage she has displayed in her personal life is also commendable. I am humbled that she feels I am worthy of playing her.” We all know that Kangana Ranaut is a fantastic actress. But for now we’ll have to wait and watch if she is being roped in or not if a biopic is made on Dutee Chand.
