After the biopics of sportspersons like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, badminton player Saina Nehwal;other will be based on the Olympian shooter Abhinav Bindra.But  the cast yet to be decided.

Says a source,“The cast is in place except the central character. For Bindra’s role, Iyer has zeroed in on two actors Ranbir Kapoor and Varun Dhawan who have the right build, age and spirit to portray Bindra from age 17 to his present age (33).”

Says added, “Both are busy stars. And this film requires a long stretch of uninterrupted dates from the actors. Right now, the front-runner is Ranbir as he shares the same birth date as Abhinav Bindra.

However, his dates are committed to another biopic (Sanjay Dutt’s) to be directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Both, Ranbir and Varun stand an equally good chance of playing Bindra. Also, Varun has not done any biopics (but is in talks for playing Dhyan Chand), so it would be interesting to see if he picks up the Bindra biopic first.”
