How Priyanka Chopra became Mary Kom

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to make movies which are opulent and magnificent. However when it comes to producing one, SLB readily agreed to come on board for the biopic. In an interview with The Times of India, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, "Mary Kom has made India proud. I was moved by her story. She is a mother of two, has been through so much struggle, has tremendous spirit and a sense of living and dignity and is now a World Champion. She has what it takes to make a great champion. An Indian woman boxer is rare. It will be an exciting film to produce and I am very happy to do it."
