With Pullela Gopichand's stature only increasing post the historical performance put up by PV Sindhu at Rio 2016, the responsibilities of Praveen Sattaru have only multiplied. The filmmaker of 'Chandamama Kathalu' and 'Guntur Talkies' is going to make a biopic on the badminton champ-coach, whose role is essayed by Sudheer Babu. Now that Sindhu has become a household name, it will be natural for the audience to expect her character to be highly impactful in the movie.

This has made many wonder as to whom Praveen Sattaru will approach for the role.

There is a speculation that he could be mooting to cast Sindhu herself in the role. After all, who can do better justice, especially at a time when her historic Silver win is very fresh in people's minds?

While Sindhu playing herself in a biopic on her 'guru' will have its advantages (especially in terms of initial openings and pre-release publicity), it won't be without a downside. Sindhu's role may have to be kept short and sweet (and this could be the case whether or not Sindhu is playing herself).

Let's see how the director is going to weigh the pros and cons of casting Sindhu or someone else for the role.
