Sourav Ganguly biopic is finally happening and an official announcement will be made soon! Bollywood biopic films are not a new thing, but the one about the former India captain is expected to create a major buzz in the country.

As per a report in Peeping Moon, the role of Sourav Ganguly would be played by supremely talented Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana. The movie will be produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg and directed by 'Udaan' fame Vikramaditya Motwane.

“Producers Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, who are producing this film under their Luv Films banner, have hit a six by bringing together Ayushmann Khurrana and Vikramaditya Motwane. Both have established themselves as formidable forces with an incredible body of work throughout the years.

Ayushmann, also a left-handed batsman like Ganguly, is a perfect fit for his biopic, while Motwane has already proven his mastery with films such as Udaan, Lootera, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, and Jubilee. Stakeholders are fired up and gung-ho about the kind of cinematic masterpiece they are set to create together. The film will officially be announced soon,” a source familiar with the development was quoted in Peeping Moon.

Earlier, reports had suggested that Ranbir Kapoor would play the role of the former opener. However, Ayushmann Khurrana being picked for the role is also not a big surprise. Khurrana is a natural southpaw batter like Sourav Ganguly, and is an ardent cricket fan who is often spotted watching cricket matches in the stadiums. He was present at the Narendra Modi Stadium to watch the India vs Australia World Cup 2023 final as well.

The biopics of Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Mohammad Azharuddin, Pravin Tambe and Mithali Raj have already been made in the past. The roller-coaster journey of Sourav Ganguly, one of India's most successful captains, has all the elements of a Bollywood movie in it. The news of Sourav Ganguly biopic has quite naturally already gone viral.
