Veteran actress and Nagarjuna’s wife Amala Akkineni is back to acting and she did interesting roles in the recent times. She is quite choosy and is signing characters that suit her. The latest news that is making rounds across the Tollywood circles is that Amala has been roped in for the biopic of ace badminton champion and coach Pullela Gopichand. The film has been on cards from some time and the project starts early next year.
Sudheer Babu reprises Gopichand on screen and he is rigorously being trained to get the desired look and fit well in the sport. Amala Akkineni is on board to play Gopichand’s mother in the film. Praveen Sattaru will direct this prestigious biopic and the pre-production work reached the final stages. The makers felt Amala would be the best choice for the role and approached her. An official announcement is awaited.
