Actress Priyanka Chopra takes the lead in the thrilling sports drama which was announced in 2012 by producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the same year the real-life Kom became the only female boxer to qualify for the summer Olympics, on top of being a five-time world amateur champion, and then some.
Mary Kom is directed by Omung Kumar and written by Saiwyn Quadras, with boxing sequences designed by Reel Sports coordinator Rob Miller (Miracle, Lahore). Currently there is some controversy regarding the film’s restricted appearance in actress Chopra‘s home state of Manipur, although the film is poised for a domestic release in India on September 5. The film is also awaiting date announcements for its world premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which runs between August and September.
