Actor Shreyas Talpade-led biopic on Indian cricketer Pravin Tambe is set to be released on Disney+ Hotstar on April 1, the streamer announced on Monday.

Directed by Jayprad Desai, "Kaun Pravin Tambe?" promises a "unique insight" into the life and passion of the leg spinner who started playing for the IPL team Rajasthan Royals at the age of 41.

"Kaun Pravin Tambe?" is backed by Fox Star Studios along with Friday Filmworks and Bootroom Sports Production. It will be released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Tambe said he feels "humbled" that his life has inspired people to follow their dreams.

"My only wish is that more and more people get inspired to live their dreams and never underestimate their potential no matter what their circumstances are and never give up. My family and loved ones can’t wait to see my story come alive, and for me it is going to be a very special day," the cricketer said in a statement.

Talpade, who had earlier played a fast bowler in Nagesh Kukunoor's 2005 sports drama "Iqbal", said he feels fortunate to portray Tambe on screen.

"The role and the story provided me with a once in a lifetime opportunity and I loved and treasured every minute of filming. I am very grateful to Bootroom Sports and Fox Star Studios and our immensely talented director Jayprad who envisioned me in this role.
