Previously, Priyanka praised Mary as a source of national pride. During the trailer launch of the biopic, Chopra spoke to reporters about her admiration for the athlete. “I think you can’t compare Mary Kom with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. For the first time a film has been mad on life of a female athlete. It is disrespectful to say it is a trend of sports biopic films. Mary Kom is the pride of our nation.”

She also remarked: “It is the hardest film of my career. To bring her (Mary Kom’s) personality on screen was the hardest part. To bring the part of a fighter, a homemaker, and a mother was a challenge. She comes from a small town farmer’s family. Sports, in itself, is a difficult thing in India, but she did it.”
