Mumbai, July 23 (IANS) Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali compares Priyanka Chopra with “Million Dollar Baby” star Hilary Swank insisting that only “Barfi” star could pull of the title role in “Mary Kom”, a biopic on Olympic bronze medallist and five-time World Champion M.C. Mary Kom. Sports drama “Million Dollar Baby” was the story of a waitress’ determination to become a boxing champ and Swank played the protagonist in the film, which did so well that it took home four golden statuettes. “‘Mary Kom’ is a very special film and no one other than Priyanka could have pulled off the role,” Bhansali told reporters at the trailer launch of “Mary Kom”.
