In a much-anticipated announcement, the details of the official biopic of cricket legend Sourav Ganguly will be officially announced ahead of the upcoming IPL season. The script is finalised, and the shooting schedule is expected to be disclosed just before the IPL matches kick off.
Contrary to earlier speculations of Ranbir Kapoor playing the former Indian skipper, the charismatic Ayushmann Khurrana has been chosen for the pivotal role. Khurrana, who expressed keen interest from the beginning, finally secures the lead role in what promises to be an immersive portrayal.
Adding to the excitement, director Vikramaditya Motwane takes the reins of this ambitious project after the initial considerations of ‘Chak De India’ director Shimit Amin. Sources reveal that the shooting will commence well before the Durga Puja festivities, with Kolkata being a significant backdrop for the film.
While the iconic cricketer's wife, Dona Ganguly, is yet to be cast, the suspense is expected to end soon. The film has sparked enthusiasm within the cricket community, eagerly awaiting the cinematic journey of 'Dada’, who continues to be a vibrant force even after retiring from the cricket field. As fans eagerly anticipate the release, all eyes are now on the forthcoming days, when more details are likely to unfold.
