Luv Films is producing a biopic based on the life of former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly, affectionately known as Dada, is one of India’s most successful captains and is presently the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

On Thursday, Luv Films, the production company formed by filmmakers Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, announced the project on Instagram.

The release added, “We are thrilled to announce that Luv Films will produce Dada Sourav Ganguly’s biopic.”

“We are honoured to have been entrusted with this responsibility, and we look forward to a great innings,” the producers added.

Ganguly verified the news on social media with the caption “Let’s get this ball rolling,” after previously revealing that a biopic on his life was in the works.

“Cricket has meant everything to me; it has given me the confidence and capacity to walk forward with my head held high, and it has been an unforgettable experience.”

In an Instagram post, the famed cricketer stated, “Thrilled to share Luv Films will develop a biopic on my journey and bring it to life for the big screen (sic).”

“Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,” “De De Pyaar De,” “Malang,” and “Chhalaang” are among the films produced by Luv Films
