Sourav Ganguly's biopic makers react to reports of Ranbir Kapoor playing the lead, Here's what they say

Everyone has been eagerly waiting for biopic on former cricketer Sourav Ganguly. Lately, it was reported that Ranbir Kapoor will be playing the lead role and will be heading to Kolkata soon to visit Eden Gardens, the Cricket Association of Bengal office and also Sourav’s house prior to the shoot.

Now, the film’s co-producer Ankur Garg has reacted to the reports and said that there are no updates to share at this point and casting hasn’t been discussed yet.

Garg to ETimes, ‘Honestly, there’s no update to share at this point in time. The biopic will be one of the projects that we will focus on after our upcoming film’s release. For now, casting or anything else hasn’t been discussed.’

The publication also quoted Ganguly’s close friend Sanjay Das as saying, ‘Nothing about the film is fixed yet. We will need at least eight-nine months to decide who will play the lead role. Once everything falls into place, Sourav and the production house will formally announce who will play his character on screen. That Ranbir Kapoor is likely to play Dada is just a rumour, at least at this point.’

Ranbir Kapoor is currently awaiting the release of ‘Tu Joothi Main Makkar’, co-starring Shraddha Kapoor. Directed by Luv Ranjan, the film is all set to have a festive release worldwide. It will arrive in cinemas on Holi, March 8, 2023.
