Olympic Medal Winning Shooter Gagan Narang Mentors Actor Amit Sindh For His Upcoming Film

Gagan Narang, who won the bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics Air Rifle event, is helping out actor Amit Sadh for an upcoming film. Narang is teaching Sadh to operate a rifle for an important scene in the project directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia.

To make the rifle shooting scene appear realistic, Narang, a close friend of Sadh, was approached, say reports. Sadh is also planning to attend shooting tournaments to practice at actual shooting ranges. “He told me a few months ago that he was keen to try his hand at shooting and observe my body language etc. as he is playing the role of a shooter in one of his forthcoming films and I invited him to Pune range. There is nothing more to it; I’m just helping a friend out,” said Narang in a TV interview

Bollywood, in the recent past, made a number of successful sports dramas and biopics. Dangal, the Aamir Khan-starrer based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Dangal and his daughters, opened to a grand reception in theatres on Friday. It was Commonwealth medal winner Kripa Shankar Bishnoi who trained the actors for Dangal.
 
The biopic of Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, MS Dhoni, was a blockbuster too. Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s performance as the former Indian captain was well appreciated.
