Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao will play former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly in an upcoming biopic. Ganguly confirmed the news and said there are some scheduling issues with the project.
While speaking to the media in Bardhaman on Thursday, Sourav Ganguly mentioned that Rajkummar Rao is expected to play his role in the biopic. He 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 in discussion for a while, will showcase Sourav Ganguly’s life and cricket career. He is widely credited for transforming the Indian cricket team.
Rajkummar Rao, known for his versatile performances, has been selected to portray Ganguly on screen. While the project is still in its early stages, the announcement has already excited fans of both the cricketer and the actor. More details, including the release date and cast, are yet to be revealed.
Meanwhile, Rajkummar Rao will next be seen in ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ alongside Wamiqa Gabbi. He is also working on the gangster drama ‘Maalik’, which is set to release in theatres on June 20, 2025.
