Film star Priyanka Chopra has started acting in a yet-to-be-named film
on the life of Mary Kom, the international woman boxer from Manipur who
has been bringing laurels to the country from competitions held at home
and abroad, the latest being a medal in the last Olympics games. Ms.
Chopra made a two-day visit to Imphal to study the lifestyle of Ms. Kom.
Soon after arrival in Imphal on Monday, Ms. Chopra, dressed in Kom tribe
sarong, went to the house of Ms. Kom at Langol housing complex near
Imphal.
The film is likely to be released early next year.
Shortly before leaving for Mumbai, Ms. Chopra told journalists that she
had come to study the lifestyle of Mary Kom. She will have to learn some
techniques of boxing.
She praised the achievements of Ms. Kom and said that she should be an
inspiration to others. While she will play the role of Mary Kom, the
persons who will play the roles of other important family members and
professional friends are yet to be selected.
