Throughout the years, speculation regarding delays and potential cancellations arose multiple times. In a prior interview, Harsh had conveyed his dedication to the film, stating, “I want the Abhinav Bindra biopic to be a theatrical. We are trying to develop a narrative that is true to who Abhinav is.”

However, it is now confirmed that the project is no longer in development. A source informed Bombay Times, “The script lacked the drama and energy required for it to translate into a feature film. At best, it would work as a docudrama. Everyone tried to make it work, but after much deliberation, it was concluded that it won’t work.”

When contacted by BT, Harsh also confirmed the news, “Yes, the Bindra biopic has been shelved.” The actor, who was last seen in the critically acclaimed OTT film Thar, is now focusing on several other intriguing projects that are in the pipeline.
