The anchor asked Neeraj Chopra who would play Arshad in a biopic on the javelin star. This reply to this is going viral now. "As Arshad has good height, a tall actor should be chosen to play his character. In India, Amitabh Bachchan is the most suitable to play the role," Neeraj Chopra replied.

King Khan 🤝 Neeraj Chopra!
