The thought of casting the right actor to depict Virat Kohli in his biography is undoubtedly a complex scenario. While the discussion and disputes continue, one thing is sure: Virat Kohli's biography will be an entertaining and uplifting cinematic experience, celebrating the life of a great cricketing superstar while eliciting a wide variety of emotions from the audience.

With the colossal range of talent in the Indian film industry, we can't help but feel excited about the potential of the biopic. Here's a list of the five actors who can be potential contenders to depict the role of Virat Kohli. 

Ranveer Singh

Regarding energy and charm, Ranveer Singh is Bollywood's indisputable king. He is well-known for his energetic performances and captivating passion, and he has an incredible ability to bring the screen to life.

Ranveer, like Kohli, displays enthusiasm on the pitch and screen. He has previously played real-life figures with great enthusiasm, such as Indian cricketing icon Kapil Dev in '83', a role that earned him widespread acclaim for his dedication and authenticity.

Vicky Kaushal

Vicky Kaushal stands up as a potential actor to play Virat Kohli in his biography. Known for his compelling performances, Vicky has carved out a space for himself in Bollywood. His strong portrayals in 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' and 'Raazi' have proven his mettle in biopics and true-crime films.

His flawless performance as Late Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the film Sam Bahadur, which gave us the impression that he was still around us, showcases his ability to embody real-life characters. Vicky can communicate a wide range of emotions with nuance, giving him an excellent choice to portray Kohli's enthusiasm and commitment.

Dulquer Salmaan

As we comprehend the Bollywood actors playing the role of Virat Kohli, one name comes from down South and could be the leading contender for playing the role of Virat Kohli. That would be Dulquer Salmaan, son of the legendary Malayalam actor Mammootty. Having a comprehensive portfolio of stellar performances in different cinema languages, Salmaan's looks and demeanour could change the game by casting him as Virat Kohli.

To recollect, he played the role of the Indian Cricket team captain in the film Zoya Factor, starring Sonam Kapoor and Angad Bedi in pivotal roles, for which he was commendable. Overall, he can be the right actor who ticks all the boxes and meets the requirements for an actor in a Virat Kohli biopic.

Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor was hailed as a "chocolate boy" when he made his Bollywood debut in 2003. He was formerly regarded as a major star in the Indian cinema business, receiving several honours at a young age. However, he didn't have a fantastic time between 2009 and 2013, when most of his films failed, but his appearance in the 2014 picture Haider opened doors for him, and he performed some fantastic, serious roles.

Shahid had already been in the cricket film "Jersey," and his performance was well-received. In an interview from 2018, he named Virat Kohli as his favourite cricketer. His demeanour is considerably similar to Virat's, making him an ideal candidate for his biography.

Rajkummar Rao

Rajkummar Rao has often demonstrated his ability to seamlessly immerse himself in any persona. Rajkummar can shift himself totally from a simpleton in 'Newton' to a scary villain in 'Omerta'. Playing Virat Kohli would indeed be difficult, but if anybody can pull it off, it's this skilled actor.

His commitment to knowing the intricacies of the character would undoubtedly result in a biography that not only entertains but also leaves an indelible impression on the viewers.
