"I don't have any favourite actor or actress. I like all of them. I don't have any idea who would be able to play the role in the film. The producer and director will decide and I am sure they will chose the right one," the boxing champion told reporters here.

The movie is likely to be the directorial debut of Omang Kumar, the art director of Bhansali's movies like 'Black' and 'Sawariya'. The protagonist is likely to be a new face and not necessarily an established actress. The casting of the film has not been finalised yet.

"I am very happy that Sanjayji is making this film. Last year, Omang had come to meet me in Manipur. He wanted to make a film on me. I was very surprised. I can't believe that this is happening to me. I think this film will motivate youngsters," Mary said.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old mother of two will be seen as a special guest on a forthcoming reality show 'Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz' which will go on air on Life OK television channel from October.

The show will see children, in the age group of six to 15 years, showcasing their talent in dancing, singing and playing guitar. The show will have celebrity judges like ace choreographer Terence Lewis and actress Sonali Bendre.

"I am very happy to be part of this show and see such young talent. They all are very talented. I am happy to come here to support and motivate youngsters," she said.
