At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Arshad Nadeem made history by winning gold with a record-breaking 92.97-meter throw, while Neeraj Chopra secured silver. In a post-medal ceremony interview, when asked who he would cast in a film about Nadeem’s life, Chopra suggested Bachchan, noting the actor’s height as a good match.
On the other hand, Arshad Nadeem mentioned he would choose Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to portray Neeraj Chopra in a biopic about the Indian athlete. Their exchange highlighted the camaraderie between the two athletes, transcending their competitive sports careers.
