Mary
Kom
the
biopic
about
the
famous
Olympic
medal-winner
boxer
is
finally
getting
released
on
Oct
2,
celebrated
as
Gandhi
Jayanthi
across
the
country
every
year.
Viacom18
Motion
Pictures
Wednesday
announced
the
release
date
of
the
film,
which
stars
Priyanka
Chopra
in
the
title
role.
Taking
forward
the
phenomenal
success
of
Queen,
the
studio
has
also
announced
that
its
action
thriller
Gabbar,
co-starring
Akshay
Kumar
and
Shruti
Hassan
and
directed
by
Krish,
will
release
on
Jan
23,
2015,
co-inciding
with
the
Republic
Day
weekend.
"What
fascinates
me
about
her
is
that
I
wanted
to
tell
the
story
of
real
Mary," the
actress
said,
adding
that
the
story
about
the
female
sportswoman
has
never
been
told
through
the
medium
of
films
in
India.
Although
Mary
is
a
boxer,
she
is
a
typical
girl
who
wears
nail
paint
beneath
her
boxing
gloves,
Chopra
said.
"She
loves
singing,
watching
movies
and
everything
that
a
girl
likes,"
Priyanka
said
earlier.
"Her
story
is
same
as
that
of
mine.
I
too
struggled
when
I
came
in
the
industry
and
cried
alone.
It
is
basically
the
story
of
every
girl,
who
has
a
dream," Chopra
said.
The
project
is
directed
by
Omung
Kumar
and
very
much
awaited
by
the
fans
of
both
Mary
Kom
and
Piggy
Chops!
