"I would love to do a biopic on PT Usha because I have been an athlete," she said. "I represented my school in 200 and 400 meter races at national level. I have kind of played the role of Kalpana Chawla in a Hollywood movie 'One Under the Sun', in which I am playing the role of an astronaut," she said at a media interaction in the city for her upcoming film "Mirror Game: Ab Khel Shuru".
"In India, we don't make films on female athletes. It is important because through our films, aspiring athletes get encouragement. We don't give importance to sports in India. It is necessary for mental and physical development &mdash; whether it's a group or solo sport. It enhances personality of the individual in terms of discipline and confidence."
