CRICKET
The film may be based on Ganguly's book ‘A Century is not Enough’
We have already seen films based on lives of Indian cricketers MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar. There is a biopic based on Jhulan Goswami in the works too.
Now, fans may get a chance to see the life and story of Sourav Ganguly on the screen.
According to reports, Alt Balaji, a subscription-based video on demand platform under Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms Limited is reportedly in talks to produce a biopic based on the cricketer's life.
According to a report in Indian Express, the film will be based on the book ‘A Century is not Enough’, co-authored by Ganguly.
The report said that Ganguly had recently confirmed talks with Balaji but added that nothing is final.
“I have had a few discussions with Balaji, though nothing is final yet. I’ll have more details once we take this forward,” the report quoted him as saying.
The biopic of Sachin Tendulkar – Sachin: A Billion Dreams and Neeraj Pandey’s ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ based on the journey of Indian skipper MS Dhoni have been very successful at the box-office.
Ganguly's book ‘A Century is not Enough’ details the pivotal moments in the cricketer's long career and chronicles his journey in the world of cricket.
