Akshay Kumar Responds To Netizens Tagging Him To Do Neeraj Chopra’s Biopic

At the Tokyo Olympics 2021, Neeraj Chopra has made all the Indians proud with his victory. The athlete won a gold medal in the javelin throw final (87.5m). Chopra is the second Indian to win gold at the Olympics. Even since Neeraj won, he became a part of every big discussion, including for celebs like Kiara Advani and Akshay Kumar.

Kiara Advani, who is basking in the success of her recently released film Shershaah alongside Sidharth Malhotra, also praised Neeraj Chopra. Kiara said that right now, Chopra is not just a national crush but also the world's crush. Sidharth called Neeraj the real Shershaah of the country.

Also reacting to Neeraj Chopra's big win is Bell Bottom actor Akshay Kumar. In an interaction with ET, Akshay said, "I think he is a very good looking and handsome man. If my biopic comes up, he should do it (laughs)." After Chopra's win, Akshay's name was also trending on social media. A lot of people started joking about how the Laxmii actor should do Chopra's biopic.

When Akshay Kumar was asked about Neeraj Chopra's biopic, he said, "I think it’s very funny. I also saw that picture of mine where I am holding a stick. That still is from my film ‘Saugandh’ and it was really funny. My wife (Twinkle Khanna) also sent it to me, and I told her that I had seen it earlier (laughs)."

Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra recently met Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. After Chopra's win, the PM had congratulated him on Twitter. PM wrote, "History has been scripted at Tokyo! What @Neeraj_chopra1 has achieved today will be remembered forever. The young Neeraj has done exceptionally well. He played with remarkable passion and showed unparalleled grit. Congratulations to him for winning the Gold. #Tokyo2020."
