Tennis Player Sania Mirza to follow Sunny Leone

Mumbai, Aug 05: With biopics being the flavour of the season, filmmakers are looking broadly for personalities whose lives will make for good entertainment.

This Indian tennis player - Sania Mirza's life has it all – a rise to fame, passion, achievement, drama, politics, and glamour. And it definitely doesn't hurt that she happens to be a beautiful woman.

Rumour has that a misting over up biopic may finally become a reality. According to sources at Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Productions, settlements are currently underway with the sportswoman, though a deal is yet to be grasped.

On the face of it, Sania, who has received offers from several filmmakers, is being paid the highest amount ever given to an Indian celebrity for the rights to film his/her story. And it doesn't end there. The makers are also trying to convince her to play herself in the film.

"Who's better arrayed to play Sania than the woman herself? Of course, she is beautiful and extremely camera-friendly, and as far as acting talents go, no one's born a practiced actor. She will learn, she's a quick learner," the source says.

Though Sania has yet to give her nod to the project, the zeroes on the paycheque are likely to help her make up her mind. We can also tell you that her biopic won't be a deception job like 'Sanju' was.

"The film will talk about her marriage to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar and her confrontation with fundamentalists whose hackles are raised every time she wears a skirt on the tennis court," the source informs.
