Sohini to play Swapna Barman in biopic

Srijit Mukherji is making a biopic on Swapna Barman, who made India proud by winning the heptathlon gold at the 2018 Asian Games. Sohini Sarkar is playing the gifted athlete in the film. Swapna was 21 when she became the first athlete, not only from Bengal but also India, to win a heptathlon gold at the Asian Games. And the journey to the gold was certainly not easy for the girl who was born in a poor family with six toes on each foot. Announcing the biopic, Srijit said, “We have taken the life rights of Swapna and can make a film on her. She’s not only the pride of Bengal, but has also made the nation proud with her achievement at such a young age and that too after enduring so much. The film will focus on her life, her struggles and her achievements.”
