The challenge, Babu said, would be to shoot the badminton sequences while bringing out the inner struggle of the character. So maybe I will have to interact with people who have travelled with him and try to create how he would have been or how he would have reacted and then put it on the screen," he added. "I have travelled with him for five to eight years and played with him as a practice partner. The 40-year-old actor, best known for his performances in Telugu horror-comedy ' Prema Katha Chitram' and Hindi action film ' Baaghi' alongside Tiger Shroff, said the time he spent playing alongside Gopichand for a few years will help him in essaying the role. So if you want to catch the soul of the person, you have to be with them, you have to get to know them and their life for a good 20-25 years," he added. "Some of the biopics fail because actors only try to pick up their body language, the way they sit, walk and talk, what they miss is the soul.
It is not required to train too much about badminton as I already know some skills, I will have to just sharpen them a little bit," Babu told PTI in an interview.

The movie, a bilingual biopic in Hindi and Telugu, will narrate the shuttler's journey on and off the court.īabu, who has been a professional badminton player, said his preparation for the role involves brushing up his skills. After his retirement from the active sport, he founded the Gopichand Badminton Academy in 2008 in Hyderabad. Gopichand, a former All England Champion, is currently the national badminton coach and has played a key role in establishing PV Sindhu's career. Gearing up to start production on Pullela Gopichand biopic, south star Sudheer Babu says an artiste must concentrate on capturing the "soul" of the personality when playing a real-life character on screen.
