The life story of former India captain and current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president is nothing short of Bollywood potboiler. Right from the time he made his Test debut back in 1996 to leading the country to his inglorious fight with former coach Greg Chappell, Ganguly’s journey in international cricket had been a ‘thrill-a-minute’ ride. Now Ganguly’s life story is set to find a place of the silver screen. On the 19th anniversary of one of Ganguly’s biggest triumph as skipper – the 2002 Natwest Trophy – it has been revealed that a Sourav Ganguly biopic is being produced under the banner of a big production house and is set to be a big-budget Bollywood film of around Rs 200 to Rs.250 crore. “Yes, I have agreed to the biopic. It will be in Hindi but it is not possible to say the name of the director now. It will take a few more days for arranging everything,” Ganguly told News18.
