With PV Sindhu winning the 2019 BWF world championship, her mentor Pullela Gopichand is once again in the news. The legendary former badminton player and an active coach has been appreciated for helping Sindhu shape herself into a remarkable player.

Meanwhile, 'Sammohanam' and 'V' actor Sudheer Babu is eagerly waiting to play Gopichand in the latter's biopic. To be directed by Praveen Sattaru of 'PSV Garuda Vega' fame, the film will go on the floors soon. "Cannot wait to wear the legendary shoes ... Indeed, it's an honour for me and the team of #PullelaGopichand ... A special journey awaits," says the actor.

"India is today emerging as a badminton Super Power and all it needed was a superhuman effort by an ordinary but motivated man #PullelaGopichand. As they say, talent is just a concerned hand away from success," adds Sudheer Babu.
