Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra launched the music for her upcoming film, "Mary Kom," in Mumbai Wednesday (13 AUG. 2014). The movie is a biopic on the Olympic bronze medalist and five-time boxing world champion, starring Chopra in the lead role.
Present at the event was Kom herself, who - along with Chopra and producer of the film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali - officially launched the film's music.
Speaking at the event, Chopra said that she tried her best to do justice to the boxer's personality.
"This film we have completely made on her life, as per her own version, we have made the film for the people. The time I have spent with her, I tried to do as much justice as I can to her personality. If she does not like something in this film then its a big failure for me," explained the actress.....
Directed by debutante Omung Kumar, "Mary Kom" also stars Darshan Kumar, Danny Denzongpa, Rajni Basumatary and Sunil Thapa.
When Kumar visited Mary Kom in her home state of Manipur wanting to direct a film based on her life, Kom said she wondered if he had "gone mad."
"I had never, ever dreamt that a movie would be made about my life," she explained.
Kom's husband, K Onler Kom, was also present at the music launch.
"Mary Kom" is due to be released in India on 5 September 2014.
