Sanjay Leela Bhansali is reportedly going to produce a biopic about Magnificent Mary and the hunt for a suitable actress is on right now.

Big B wrote on his blog after meeting Mary Kom recently: "The first time women's boxing was introduced at the Olympics and India wins a medal.

Mary Kom was also felicitated at an event where Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone got to meet her.

Cricket lover and television personality Mandira Bedi also joined Mary Kom in her call for playgrounds.
