Akshay Kumar: Would love to make biopic on Hima Das

Akshay Kumar and Hima Das

Actor-Producer Akshay Kumar says he would like to make a biopic on the life of Indian sprinter Hima Das, who became the first Indian athlete to win a gold in a track event at just 18.

Asked on which Indian sports personality would he like to make a biopic as a producer, Akshay said recently: "I would like to make a biopic on Hima Das because she is a track runner. I think it was a very rare feat to achieve because somebody who comes from the interiors of India and wins a gold medal in a track event was really incredible.

"India has been a little weak when it comes to performance in track events and I feel we should encourage and support that form of sport. So, I would love to make biopic on her life."
