To be as fit as Mary I will have to work out three hours a day

    Bombay Times was the first to tell you on August 21 that a biopic based on Olympic medal-winning boxer Mary Kom is being produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. We now bring you the news that the lead actress Priyanka Chopra and Mary finally met on Tuesday for a narration by the director, Omung Kumar Bhandula.
    Says an excited Priyanka, “For me, the most exciting thing is to physically look like Mary. I need to be as fit as her, get hand movements right and also adapt a similar body language. I am not a workout person and I don’t really go to the gym regularly. While I’m really excited to start the training, I’m scared at the same time as Mary’s schedule says three hours of workout, and waking up at 4 in the morning.”
    For Mary, it was shocking and amusing at the same time when Omung said he wanted to make a film on her. She says, “I thought he was joking. For a moment, I didn’t react. Finally, we started working and had several discussions. He came to Manipur and took down my life history.”
