Sports have fast emerged as
one of the most favoured themes in Bollywood. After cricket (Azhar, MS
Dhoni: The Untold Story), boxing (Mary Kom, Saala Khadoos) and athletics (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag), a film on tennis, a yet-to-be-titled project
to be directed by Suhail Tatari (of Ankur Arora Murer Case) is all set
to roll in May.
A source associated with the film reveals, “Much like Saala Khadoos that had a real-life boxer (Ritika Singh) in the lead, Suhail has begun auditioning real-life tennis players to play the protagonists. He is looking for a 16-year-old to play the younger part. He will approach an A-lister for the older avatars. Divya Dutta will play the aspiring tennis player's mother.“ “I'm excited to feature in a sports-based project. No one knows I've signed the film yet, not even my family,“ Divya gushed.
Suhail confirmed the news but refused to divulge further details.
