Vicky Kaushal likely to star in Dhyan Chand biopic? What we know so far

Actor Vicky Kaushal is reportedly in talks with the makers of a biopic on hockey legend Dhyan Chand to play the lead role. As per Pinkvilla reports, the filmmakers and the 'Sardar Udham' actor are keen to collaborate but are yet to take the final call.

A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, 'Vicky was extremely impressed when he heard the story and is excited about the project. While the conversation between him and the makers has been going on for some time, now it has moved to the advanced stage. Both the actor and the makers are keen to collaborate on this project, but they will take a final call on the shooting schedule and other formalities post Sam Bahadur.'

Earlier, filmmaker Ronnie Screwvala had announced on social media that director Abhishek Chaubey will helm the biopic. He tweeted, '1500+ goals, 3 Olympic gold medals, and a story of India’s pride. It gives us immense pleasure to announce our next with #AbhishekChaubey - a biopic on the Hockey Wizard of India - #DHYANCHAND.'

Vicky recently wrapped up the shooting of Meghna Gulzar’s 'Sam Bahadur'. He also has Laxman Utekar's untitled project co-starring Sara Ali Khan.
