Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has revealed that she would have loved to do a film on ace boxer Mary Kom.Deepika is happy that biopics like 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' and Mary Kom are being made on sports personalities.
"I am happy that this is happening. It is great that such films are being made and hope talent is not lost... not negated," Deepika Padukone said.
"I would have loved to do a biopic on Mary Kom, but now Priyanka Chopra is doing it. I feel she is right for the film. I am glad a film on Mary Kom is being made. People have started recognising her. At least her achievements will not go waste,"said Deepika.
"When two years ago I used to talk about Mary Kom, everyone was clueless. Today when a film is being made on her, everyone seems to have some interest in her," she added.
The actress does not believe in associating with one sport. "I am associated with Olympic Gold Quest. Mary Kom was part of our team, we support sports in general it is hockey, tennis, badminton, swimming, shooting etc. Cricket, everybody knows about it. Badminton could have been the easiest thing for me to be associated with but I am not doing it," she said.
