Currently basking in the success of her film ‘Gehraiyaan’, actor Deepika Padukone has now opened up about a possible film on her father Prakash Padukone. Speaking in an interview, Deepika opened up about the challenges that her father Prakash Padukone, a former Badminton star, faced when he was training in his younger days.
Appearing on Cyrus Broacha’s YouTube channel ‘Cyrus Says’, “I am working on it. Actually, even before ’83’ happened, he (Prakash) was one of the first Indian athletes to put India on the global map as far as Indian sports is concerned. He won the World Championship in 1981, which was obviously before 1983.”
A former world No.1, Prakash Padukone had much success in badminton. His two most famous achievements were winning the bronze medal at the 1983 World Championships, and becoming the first Indian to win the All England Open in 1980.
On the work front, Deepika will be seen next in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Cirkus’, and has a line-up of films including ‘Fighter’ with Hrithik Roshan, and ‘Pathan’ with Shah Rukh Khan.
