Sourav Ganguly, known as the 'Prince of Kolkata' of Indian cricket, has his birthday today i.e. on 8th July. He was born in 1972 in Kolkata, West Bengal. Ganguly, who gave new aggression to Indian cricket, has not only been a great batsman, but he also took Indian cricket to the position of leadership from where Team India never looked back.
Now, there is another piece of good news for Dada's fans. The picture is now clear about the long-pending Sourav Ganguly biopic. Ganguly himself has now put an end to the speculations about the hero's character. During an event organized in Bardhaman, West Bengal, Sourav Ganguly confirmed that Rajkumar Rao will play the lead role in his biopic.
Rajkumar Rao will play the character of Sourav Ganguly.
Bollywood actor Rajkumar Rao's name is now almost finalized for Sourav Ganguly's biopic. 'Dada' himself has announced the name of Rajkumar Rao. Along with this, he has also said that due to Rajkumar not having dates, the film will be released on screen only by next year. Talking to the media, Ganguly said, 'According to me, Rajkumar Rao will play my role... but there are problems with dates, so the film may take more than a year to release.'
Which actors' names have come up so far?
Let us tell you that the names of stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Ayushman Khurana were in discussion for the biopic of Sourav Ganguly, but the final selection was of Rajkumar Rao. Ranbir Kapoor did not have dates, and Ayushman Khurana also could not do the film for some reason. Now Rajkumar Rao will not show his bat on the cricket pitch, but will show his acting skills. It is worth mentioning that after Kapil Dev's 83 and MS Dhoni's biopic, Sourav Ganguly is the third Indian cricketer whose biopic is going to be made.
Vikramaditya Motwane will direct
This biopic will be directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and the script is being written by Abhay Korane. The initial preparations for the film have begun and if reports are to be believed, the makers have also met Sourav Ganguly at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
From the field to the board, every color of Dada will be seen.
This biopic of Ganguly will not only show the story of his 18,575 international runs, but will also highlight his aggression, controversy, success during his captaincy period and his impact on Indian cricket. Also, the film will focus on Ganguly's administrative life such as his journey from becoming the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to becoming the BCCI President.
Expectation of a film like 'MS Dhoni' or '83'
It is worth noting that biopic films like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story and 83 had achieved tremendous success at the box office. Now the audience is hoping that the story of Sourav Ganguly will make them feel the same enthusiasm and pride again in the form of a sports drama.
