Sourav Ganguly is hopeful about his biopic. During a recent interaction with the media, the former Indian cricket team captain confirmed that he will be portrayed by Rajkummar Rao. He said, “From what I’ve heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the role, but there are issues of dates…so it will take more than a year to hit the screens.”

While the makers haven’t confirmed the same, Ganguly seemed to be sure of the developments. Rajkummar Rao, on the other hand, will be next seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi. The makers recently unveiled the teaser of the film.

The production of the biopic was announced in 2021. Earlier, Ayushmann Khurrana and Ranbir Kapoor were also approached for this biopic. Ayushmann was approached first, but he reportedly signed and later left the film. After that, Ranbir Kapoor was being speculated to play Ganguly. However, Rajkummar has been finalized.
