Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is set to portray former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly in an upcoming biopic. The news was confirmed by Ganguly himself, who mentioned that there are some issues related to scheduling dates for the project.
During a media interaction in Bardhaman on Thursday, Sourav Ganguly said, "From what I've heard, Rajkummar Rao will play the role (the titular role), but there are issues of dates, so it will take more than a year to hit the screens."
The biopic, which has been a topic of discussion for some time, aims to capture the life and career of Ganguly, who is often credited with transforming the Indian cricket team. Rajkummar Rao, known for his versatile acting skills, has been chosen to bring Ganguly's story to the big screen.
While the project is in the initial stages, the announcement has generated excitement among fans of both the actor and the cricketer. Further details about the film, including its release date and other cast members, are yet to be disclosed.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Rajkummar Rao will be seen next in Bhool Chuk Maaf, co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi. Besides that, the actor also has the gangster drama Maalik in his pipeline, set for a theatrical release on June 20, 2025.
