Ronnie Screwvala acquires rights to Sania Mirza’s biopic

Ronnie Screwvala has reportedly acquired the rights to Sania Mirza’s story, and has begun work on the biopic.

The project is still in its early stages, and nothing has been finalized yet. “Many have been wanting to make a film on Sania’s life for a while now and Ronnie has finally bagged the rights for it. The story will be a balance of her professional and personal life with the latter getting more prominence. The makers will zero down on a director soon, after which they will begin the casting process,” a source told Mumbai Mirror.

Mirza’s biopic will join the list of many other sports stories being translated to the big screen, such as Sandeep Singh, Saina Nehwal, and Abhinav Bindra.
