Xtra Time Web Desk: Kidambi Srikanth, the first male shuttler who won silver medal in the World Championships for India shared he would love to have a biopic made on his life. He mentions that the film should cover his struggle towards his success.

“I would never say no to my biopic. But I’d be happier if a biopic was made which would teach children about my story and encourage them to play badminton as well,” said the shuttler.

On being asked about who he prefers to carry out his role on screen, he added, “I don’t have a specific name. I feel anyone can play me. Also, it will be simple if a biopic is made on me as there won’t be any serious acting anyway.”

Srikanth gives tough competition to his fellow players and he sets his sight on the medal once he sets his foot on the court. “What I focus on is winning medals. I’m happy because I won a silver medal, and not because I am the first to win, and despite so many wins by his side.” he adds. Inspite of winning several matches, Srikanth still feels butterflies in his stomach, says “I still get nervous! Before a game, I do simple things that I’ve been doing since the days when I used to play for under-16. It all comes down to having strings of similar colours on your rackets. When I was a kid, I used to watch international matches on TV, where there would be a slew of top players’ rackets lined up, all with the same colour of strings and grips. I would see and wish that I had a kit bag like that one day. Now, I have the opportunity, so I make sure I have the same colour strings and grips”.
