Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of the Indian men’s cricket team, said on social media in 2021 that a biopic on his life is in the works and will be made by Luv Ranjan’s production company. Ranbir Kapoor was said to be the leading candidate for the starring role in a previous report. Yet back then, Sourav had brushed off the news, claiming that “no final decision has been made. After the meeting, I hope we can contribute something constructive.
Before he begins filming for the biography, which is expected to be made on a sizable budget, there have been rumors that Ranbir will soon travel to Kolkata to tour the famous Eden Gardens, the CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal) office, and possibly Ganguly’s home. The final draft of the script apparently received Sourav’s approval, and the movie is set to release soon.
Ankur Garg, the co-producer of the movie, responded to our inquiry by saying, “Honestly, I don’t have any updates to provide at this time. After the premiere of our upcoming movie, we’ll concentrate on a number of projects, including the biopic. Casting or anything else hasn’t been addressed as of yet. Dona Ganguly, Sourav’s wife, remarked, “I’m not sure. I’m not sure yet, and I’d advise against making any assumptions just yet.
One of the project’s founders and a close friend of Sourav, Sanjay Das, stated, “Nothing about the movie is set in stone yet. The choice of the principal actor will need to be made within the next eight to nine months. When everything is ready, Sourav and the production company will officially reveal who will portray his character on screen. At this point, it is only a rumor that Ranbir Kapoor will portray Dada.
