Prachi Desai and Parineeti Chopra have been apparently approached to star in a biopic on the 'only Indian woman' to qualify as international football referee, G Rupa Devi.
A source said, "It will be shot in various parts of the world and will go on floors by June. Talks are on with Prachi and Parineeti to star in the film which will be helmed by a newcomer. An official announcement will be made soon."
A source close to the makers said, "In this film, the actress in consideration will have to somewhat do what Shahrukh Khan did in 'Chak De! India' (2007) or Priyanka Chopra did in 'Mary Kom' (2014). We are looking for someone with a childlike face but also mass appeal to be able to shoulder the film. We are already in talks with various top seed footballers to feature in the film alongside the actress."
