The motive? Ronnie took the movie to a number one actor who has now turned it down. Somewhat birdie knowledgeable Bollywood Hungama, “RSVP approached Varun Dhawan for the movie. The script is terrific and he liked the whole plot. But the problem was that RSVP needed his dates almost immediately after the lockdown this year. He is already committed to several films and he couldn’t accommodate this one, because this will need a lot of his time – for the prep and then, the shoot. So he had to decline the offer.”

Varun has 4 movies lined up – Jug Jugg Jeeyo, adopted by Amar Kaushik’s Bhediya, Sajid Nadiadwala’s Sanki and Sriram Raghavan’s Ekkis. Now, it must be seen who might be roped in to play the hockey legend within the biopic!
