Bengali serial “Run Rony Run” to portray the struggle of girl athletes

The show, deriving from real life incidents and experiences of sportspersons, also focuses on athletes getting caught in politics.

Sreyoshree, a class X student, who plays the lead role said Kabaddi is her favourite sport.

“After I signed for this project, I was asked to see the Bengali classic ‘Koni’, recently acclaimed ‘Bhag Milkhha Bhag’ and ‘M S Dhoni’ for preparations and I watched all,” she said.

“Also by training sprints for two months and swimming at a pool, I have shed 4-5 kg of weight and acquired the tall, skinny look,” she said.

The TV serial will air from November 2.
