The speculations over Sourav Ganguly biopic have been doing rounds for a while now. The former Indian captain agreed to his biopic about two years ago. Ever since names of multiple actors who could play Sourav’s character have been in discussion.

Sourav once said that he would want to see Ranbir Kapoor playing his role. Ranbir came to Kolkata in February during the promotion of his film Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. He met Sourav at that time. They played cricket and spent a considerable time together. That incited the speculation that Ranbir will play Sourav in his biopic. Now, it has been reported that Ayushmann Khurrana may replace Ranbir. Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rajinikanth will reportedly direct the film.

Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg will produce the biopic. They were in Kolkata and went to Dada's house on May 26 and talked for two hours. They discussed the script. They will again sit with Dada two more times. After the final discussion, the scriptwriting will start. They want to do a quick job and hence will finish the script and start the shooting this year. If everything goes well, then the shooting will start in 2023 December or 2024 January. The producers said that after the script is written, they will announce the protagonist.
