Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly opened up about his biopic and shared that Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao will portray him in the film. The announcement was made during a recent media interaction in Mumbai, where Ganguly revealed that while the casting has been finalized, the project faces scheduling challenges that could delay its release by more than a year.
“From what I’ve heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the role, but there are issues of dates…so it will take more than a year to hit the screens,” Ganguly stated during the media interaction.
The biopic will showcase Ganguly’s illustrious cricket career spanning over 15 years, during which he amassed 18,575 runs across all formats in international cricket. His leadership led India to 21 Test victories and a memorable World Cup final appearance in 2003, establishing him as one of cricket’s most influential figures.
The film is expected to delve into Ganguly’s administrative roles as well, including his tenure as BCCI president and his contributions to the Cricket Association of Bengal.
Talking about Rajkummar Rao’s work front, he will be seen in ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf‘, also starring Wamiqa Gabbi. Apart from ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ RajKummar Rao also has ‘Maalik‘ in his kitty.
