A Manipuri film based on the life of Olympic silver medallist weightlifter Saikhom Mirabai Chanu will now be produced.

An agreement was signed recently between Chanu’s management and Imphal-based Seuti Films Production at her residence in Nongpok Kakching village in Imphal, a release issued by renowned playwright and the production company’s chairperson Manaobi MM, said.

The film will also be dubbed into English and various Indian languages, it added. Manaobi said, “We will start looking for a girl who can essay the role of Mirabai Chanu. She has to match the Olympic medallist’s age, height, physique and have some resemblance to her looks. Then, she has to be trained on Chanu’s lifestyle. It will take at least six months to start shooting.”
