Boxer Dingko Singh's wish has already been granted as a biopic on him is in works with Shahid Kapoor as the lead. And now, if reports are to be believed, Shahid will be co- producing the movie along with Raja Krishna Menon who is directing it. A source was quoted by Mumbai Mirror saying, “Now, they have joined hands to produce the film. It will be shot primarily in Manipur, besides Delhi, while an international schedule is also being planned." Now that's another feather in his cap. We honestly think it was high time Shahid did something different, apart from acting considering how actors are exploring various careers within Bollywood which include singing for films or even directing them.

Speaking to Bombay Times, the 37-year-old actor earlier said, “Dingko is a cancer survivor, and he went through 13 rounds of chemotherapy. He has even gone on to say that his biggest win was surviving cancer and not the gold medal he won at the age of 19 at the Asian Games in Bangkok (1998). He is a sports star who survived cancer, and at some point in his past, he had almost become a Naxalite. His life story is unbelievably crazy; it is very human and extremely inspiring. Such amazing stories of heroes need to be told.” Well, we cannot wait for this story to unfold on the big screen. What about you?
