The highly anticipated biopic on Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra has officially been shelved. The film, announced in 2017, was set to star Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor in the lead role, with Anil Kapoor co-producing and playing Bindra's father. The actor told mid-day, “Yes, it’s not happening at the moment. I have moved on to other projects and [there] will be an announcement soonish.”

Despite years of development and excitement surrounding the project, the film fell flat because the script reportedly “lacked the drama and energy required for a feature film.” On this, Harsh said, “Whatever’s going to come next like my previous films, will be completely new and not routine,” Harsh Varrdhan added.
