Rajkummar Rao Likely to Play Sourav Ganguly in Upcoming Biopic: Shooting to Begin Soon

Rajkummar Rao might soon hit the major screen as Sourav Ganguly, the famous cricket captain from India. It is apparently concentrated on the important journey of Ganguly, taking it from the ground to being a massive name in cricket. The word has it that Rao and the bevy making the movie were staying at Eden Gardens, watching a T20 game, and that's making everyone unfathomably hyped for the movie to release.

This movie is not only just about cricket ,it's a tale of woe and wins. It's going to show us everything . Ganguly conjoining it on his first go at Lord's, to his leading it and changing the game for India. Known as the Prince of Kolkata, Ganguly made some key comebacks and shaped the team like no other, etc. He is going to be in the movie.

Rajkummar Rao is all in, getting ready to play Ganguly. Mister Rao is putting in the work to master the important part of this cricket biggie. Everyone's waiting to see if Rao can bring that Ganguly swag and lead on screen. No word yet from the major guns if it's all set, but the fans are on edge waiting for the go. They're planning to begin shooting soon, taking the camera to the places that tell Ganguly's story, hitting spots in Kolkata and London.

The movie is going to dive deep into what made Ganguly the legend: not only the glory on the field, but the tough times, the showdowns for the top spot, and how he conjoined his way back. As I start a conclusion, I endeavor to say that with an excellent crew working their magic off the screen, this movie looks like it's going to do Ganguly proud. The buzz is really going with fans lined up for any bit of news, hoping for a movie that brings to life the legend of Sourav Ganguly, down to the final moments.

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is set to play the lead role in Sourav Ganguly biopic, according to multiple media reports. The biopic is still in talks and still to be named. It is in development after bollywood has also produced biopic on former India captain MS Dhoni and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar.

According to a report in ETimes, the film is all set to go on floors soon and the makers have zeroed in on Ranbir Kapoor to play the lead role of the former captain of the Indian cricket team.

Earlier, it was reported that the makers are considering Ranbir Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra & Hrithik Roshan.

Reportedly, talks with Ranbir had materialised but there were scheduling issues, however, those seem to have been sorted out now.

The report further states that the filming will soon begin in Kolkata and Ranbir may soon visit the city including Eden Gardens cricket stadium, the CAB office & Sourav Ganguly’s home before he begins the shoot.

Unlike previous sports biopics, the film on Sourav Ganguly is said to be the costliest ever to be made with an approximate budget of Rs 200-250 crore. The former captain has also given his nod to the script’s final draft, according to reports.

Fans can expect an official announcement about Ranbir coming on board the Sourav Ganguly biopic.
