Will Chopra feature in a movie?

The answer is that Neeraj himself thinks it is a little early in his career being 24 years of age to focus on something else rather than his sport. The Javelin Thrower's marketing agents were approached by three production houses and were turned down by Neeraj due to the reason mentioned above.

What kind of brands Neeraj is signing up with?

The latest in the list is top brand Under Armour, the partnership was signed last week and it is going to lead to a special edition apparel line. Leaving out of couple of criketers, no athlete from India has signed an apparel deal in collaboration with one of the most recognised sports wear companies in the world. What does a signature collection deal means? It means that Chopra will have his own name or logo on the clothes of which brand he signs for, prime example can be the 'Air Jordan' brand, the deal which was made in the mid 1980s between legendary basketball player Michael Jordan and Nike.
