On this special occasion, his fans have got some big good news. The picture is now clear about his biopic, which has been in discussions for a long time. Sourav Ganguly himself has confirmed that Bollywood actor Rajkumar Rao will play his character in the film made on his life.

Ganguly himself revealed

Recently, during a program in Bardhaman, West Bengal, Ganguly said that Rajkumar Rao has been finalized for his biopic. He said, "According to me, Rajkumar Rao will play my role... but there are date issues, so the film may take more than a year to release." Along with this, he also clarified that the script is being worked on rapidly and the film will be in front of the audience by next year.

The names of these stars were in discussion

The names of stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurrana were also discussed a lot for this biopic. But Ranbir Kapoor could not do this project due to his busy schedule with other films, and Ayushmann Khurrana also dropped out of the film for some reason. After this, Rajkumar Rao was finalized for this role. Rajkumar is known for his brilliant acting skills, and fans are sure that he will play the character of 'Dada' very well.

Directing and writing credits

The film will be directed by renowned filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane, who has given critically acclaimed projects like 'Udaan', 'Lootera' and 'Sacred Games'. The script is being written by Abhay Korane. According to reports, Ganguly and the makers have already had a meeting for the film at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The story from the field to the board room

Ganguly's biopic will not be limited to his cricketing career. It will show his 18,575 international runs, his aggressive captaincy, historic victories on foreign tours, the controversy with coach Greg Chappell, and then his journey to becoming BCCI president. His contribution at the board level will also be shown in detail in this film.

Expecting a biopic like 'Dhoni' and '83'

It is worth noting that biopic films like 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' made on Mahendra Singh Dhoni and '83' made on the 1983 World Cup made a special place in the hearts of the audience. Now, fans hope that Sourav Ganguly's story will be equally inspiring and exciting.
