The biopic is expected to delve into various phases of Ganguly's life, from his early days in cricket to his captaincy, memorable victories, and his enduring influence on the sport in India.

Khurrana, known for his meticulous approach to character portrayal, is anticipated to undergo physical transformations and immerse himself in the nuances of Ganguly's personality to deliver a convincing performance.

That being said, the film aims to celebrate Ganguly's resilience, leadership, and contributions to Indian cricket, offering audiences a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs that defined his illustrious career.

With Ayushmann Khurrana at the helm, the Sourav Ganguly biopic promised a blend of entertainment and inspiration, drawing cricket enthusiasts and moviegoers alike into the compelling narrative of one of India's cricketing legends.
