Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Neeraj Chopra said on Thursday that he hasn’t thought his biopic and his entire focus is on sports and winning more medals for India in future.
Since, winning the gold medal at Tokyo 2020, Neeraj has been the most popular face in the country. Many Bollywood producers and directors have approached him to make a biopic on his journey but wants to keep his main focus on sports.
“I have been approached to do biopics but I think what I have achieved is just the beginning. This was my first Olympics. I want to win more medals. I don’t want the movie to flop,” Chopra said at Times Now Summit 2021.
“If I can win more medals, I think then the movie too will be a hit. Right now, my entire focus is on sports, I haven’t thought about Bollywood,” he added.
Recalling the historic moment, Chopra said: “When I threw the javelin, I wasn’t thinking about the medal but was confident that mine was the best throw.”
“To be honest, until the last throw you are never sure because there are world champions and Olympic champions at that time. For example, the Czech thrower made a throw of more than 89 meters, so you never know who will make a throw that will exceed that. We need to be focused till the end of the competition,” he added.
