After much anticipation, rajkummar rao will play the legendary cricketer in the movie about Sourav Ganguly. All the speculations were put to rest when Ganguly himself verified the news. However, the movie will not be released for more than a year because of schedule conflicts. A film homage to one of India's finest captains is eagerly anticipated by fans. Ganguly's career is legendary, spanning from Kolkata's maidans to 21 Test triumphs and the 2003 world cup final. His effect on indian cricket, his combative leadership, and his 18,575 international runs will all be covered in the movie.

According to reports, it would also discuss his impact on the cricket Association of bengal and his administrative responsibilities as bcci President.  Rajkummar Rao was selected after ranbir kapoor and ayushmann khurrana were first considered.  He can add passion to the part and has the capacity to empathize with real-life personalities like shahid and Omerta.  He is the ideal pick to show Ganguly's bold personality since he can convey resiliency.  Sports biopics may be challenging; although 83 and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story were successful, others weren't.
 
Showing Ganguly's rebelliousness, his controversies, such as the repercussions from Greg Chappell and his Lord's shirt-waving incident, will be the most difficult task here.  If executed well, this might serve as a standard for bollywood sports movies. The biopic is still in its early stages, and Rajkummar is now occupied with Maalik and Bhul Chuk Maaf.  The foundation has reportedly already been laid when the squad reportedly met Ganguly at Eden Gardens.  If executed well, this will be a stirring homage to a cricket legend whose leadership and demeanor transformed indian cricket.  Expectations are high, but fans will have to wait!
