After Neeraj Chopra won the gold medal in Men's Javelin Throw event of Tokyo Olympics, an old interview if him is going viral. After setting up a new national record, Chopra was asked to make actors he'd like to see in his biopic. He replied, "It’ll be great if a biopic is made. The people I like are Randeep Hooda from Haryana, and Akshay Kumar in Bollywood." This gave netizens an opportunity to go on a memefest.

The most popular one of those featured a young Akshay Kumar holding a stick and the caption suggests that Akshay has started practicing for the potential biopic. Akshay has now responded to all this buzz. He turned the conversation around by stating that Neeraj can play him in a biopic. Akshay said, "I would say Neeraj Chopra is a very good-looking guy. Agar mera koi biopic karega toh woh kar sakta hai (If a biopic about me is made some day, he should play me in the film)".

Talking about the memes, Akshay said, "I saw that meme where I am holding a stick in my hand. It's from my first film Saugandh. People started saying, 'Arre, abhi se practice chalu ho gayi! (He has already started practicing for Chopra's biopic)'. I found that very funny."
