After Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, fans of former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly will be able to watch his life story unfold on the big screen. The report of a biopic being made about the former cricketer has been confirmed by him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I have agreed to the biopic. It will be in Hindi but it is not possible to reveal the name of the director now. It will take some more time for everything to be finalised,\u201d the president of the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) told News 18 Bangla.<\/p>\n
Now, it remains to be revealed who would play Ganguly on screen. Fans of Sourav Ganguly also known as \u2018Dada\u2019, will undoubtedly get to see the classic moments of his life, from the pivotal shirtless moment on the Lord\u2019s balcony to the ignominious Chappell years.<\/p>\n
Ganguly was asked who he would choose to play his role in his biography on Neha Dhupia\u2019s chat show No Filter Neha last year. That time Ganguly couldn\u2019t come up with a name so Neha Dhupia suggested Hrithik Roshan\u2019s name, to which the cricketer replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he\u2019s got to get a body like me, first. A lot of people would say the way Hrithik\u2019s body is, how good-looking he is, and how muscular he is, people would say \u2018Aree, you\u2019ll have to get a body like Hrithik\u2019. But, Hrithik will have to get a body like me before he starts.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to reports, Ganguly\u2019s biopic will be filmed under a big production banner on a large scale.<\/p>\n
Previously, Indian cricket fans were treated to watch Sachin: A Billion Dreams, a documentary-drama starring Sachin Tendulkar. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, starring Sushant Singh Rajput as the former India captain. Fans are now waiting for the release of 83, a Ranveer Singh-led film on India\u2019s first World Cup victory in 1983 under the captaincy of legendary Kapil Dev. A biopic of Indian women\u2019s cricketer Mithali Raj is also in the work, starring Taapsee Pannu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
