Olympian Sharath Kamal on Vicky Kaushal

During a recent conversation with Free Press Journal, Olympian Sharath Kamal was asked whom he wants to see play him in a biopic. He named Vicky Kaushal without hesitation. However, Sharath also shared that he plans to first write a book about his journey before a film. “Writing gives you clarity," he explained. “It helps paint the complete picture. Once that’s done, maybe a movie will happen. But honestly, I don’t know if my sport is popular enough for the industry to pick it up," he said. 

For the cast of the film, Sharath had one requirement, which was that the actor needed to be tall. "Therefore, we might consider Vicky Kaushal," he stated.
