Not Shah Rukh Khan Or Ranbir Kapoor, Neeraj Chopra Names This Bollywood Star For Arshad Nadeem's Biopic

India's Neeraj Chopra and Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem are fierce competitors on the field of javelin but off the ground both share a really good bond. The two players hold a lot of respect and love for each other, so much that it remains unaffected by the outcome of the results of the events they compete in, together. In the recently-concluded Paris Olympics 2024, Arshad claimed the gold medal in the javelin throw event while Neeraj bagged the silver. An interview of the duo after the medal ceremony is going viral on social media. In the clip, an anchor of the host broadcaster asked Neeraj about who he would want to play the role if a biopic is made on Arshad. The Indian athlete picks Amitabh Bachchan.

When Arshad was asked a similar question for Neeraj's biopic, the Pakistan star said, "You can use Shah Rukh Khan."
