Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly has finally given a go-ahead for his biopic, according to reports. Ganguly, who is currently BCCI president, confirmed it during an interview with News 18 Bangla: “Yes, 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.” The film will show Ganguly’s cricketing journey till he becomes BCCI president. It is made on a budget of Rs 200 to Rs 250 crore, News 18 stated in a report.
There are speculations about Ranbir Kapoor essaying Ganguly in the film. However, there has been no official confirmation. Last year, Sourav had spoken about rumours of Hrithik Roshan playing him onscreen. When Neha Dhupia suggested on her show that she thinks Hrithik is the best choice to essay Ganguly, the former cricketer said: “But he’s got to get a body like me, first. Lot of people would say the way Hrithik’s body is, how good-looking he is, and how muscular he is, people would say ‘Aree, you’ll have to get a body like Hrithik’. But, Hrithik will have to get a body like me before he starts.”
