Since Neeraj Chopra won Gold in Tokyo Olympics, his old interviews and tweets are making rounds across social media platforms. During an interview in 2018 with The Quint, Chopra had said if a biopic is ever made in his life, he would like to see Randeep Hooda or Akshay Kumar portraying him on the screen. He had said, “If a biopic is ever made on my life, it would be great. The actors I like are Randeep Hooda from Haryana, and if we talk about Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is perfect.”
Akshay and Randeep wished the Olympic Gold Medallist
After Chopra secured the Gold on the javelin, many celebrities congratulated him on social media platforms, including his two favourites Randeep and Akshay. Actor Randeep Hooda said, “Lath gaad diya, literally!” It is a Haryanavi idiom that means “fixing one’s position”.
