\"MariyappanChennai:Indian Paralympic gold medalist Mariyappan Thangavelu<\/a><\/strong>, on whose life filmmaker Aishwarya Dhanush is making a biopic, says he never expected such a film to be made.<\/p>\n

In 2016 Summer Paralympic games held in Rio de Janeiro, Thangavelu won gold for India in the T-42 high jump category.<\/p>\n

The first look poster of Aishwarya’s biopic titled “Mariyappan” was unveiled by superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and the film will be made in Tamil and English.<\/p>\n

Talking about the project, he said: “I’m yet to officially sign the contract. If my story can inspire youngsters from rural backgrounds, I’ll be thrilled and nothing more can give me happiness than that.”<\/p>\n

The film will have music by Sean Roldan, dialogues by Raju Murugan and cinematography by R. Velraj.<\/p>\n

Asked if he would like to see any popular actor play his part, Thangavelu said: “I’ll leave it to the team to choose the right actor. It doesn’t matter who plays my part, but I just wish the story inspires a lot of people.”<\/p>\n

He hopes the film paves way to more sports-based films from Tamil filmdom.<\/p>\n

Thangavelu is currently busy training for the upcoming Asian Games.<\/p>\n
