Sunday, 12th June 2016, 02:00 PM IST Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions with Shetty sisters, Pooja Shetty and Athiya Shetty have collaborated to work on a biopic on legendary Hockey player, Dhyan Chand. The rights to make a biopic were sold four years back to the Shetty sisters but there was no development since then. Karan agreed to co-produce the film. Reportedly, Varun Dhawan has been approached by his friend Karan and the actor is keen to play the Hockey legend. A source said, “Pooja and Aarti sounded Karan out about the Dhyan Chand project. He loved the idea and agreed to co-produce the film. Karan approached Ranbir Kapoor to play Dhyan Chand. Ranbir, for reasons best known to him, declined the offer. KJo then took the project to his other favourite Varun Dhawan, who is quite keen on playing the hockey legend. He even made his father David Dhawan hear the story. Karan Johar then approached Fox Star Studios, who are keen to get on board.” Fox Star Studios will also co-produce the film. The director of the film is yet to be decided.
