Kavita Devi To Be Subject Of Upcoming Biopic
Kavita Devi will be the subject of an upcoming biopic.
Times of India reports that a new biopic will be produced on the life of Kavita Devi. The rights to the film have been acquired by producer Pretty Aggarwal. He reportedly plans to make the film “on a very grand scale.” Zeeshan Ahmad will serve as co-producer.
Aggarwal said about Devi, “Her whole life has been very inspiring. In every stage of her life she showed a lot of courage to fight all the odds and proved her ability to win. WWE has always been considered as a male bastion. Later, many women from around the world started taking interest in it and professionally started participating in it, but still there was no female representation from India. Kavita proved her mettle and showed that Indian women are no less. She jumped into the WWE ring with all her might. Notably, after marriage she wanted to quit playing, but with her husband’s support she continued playing post her marriage and brought many laurels to India.”
Devi was reportedly released by WWE in May 2021, but she said that report wasn’t accurate and she was working on a new arrangement with the promotion.
Devi hadn’t wrestled since July 2019 and had been sidelined with an ACL injury. Devi said she was not part of Superstar Spectacle as she was with her husband as he recovered from COVID.
Devi competed in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, losing in the first round to Dakota Kai. The bout has over 62 million views on YouTube.
