Ayushmann Khurrana To Headline Sourav Ganguly's Biopic; Vikramaditya Motwane To Direct

Mumbai, January 12 - Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana has reportedly confirmed to headline the biopic of former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly. "Lootera" director Vikramaditya Motwane has been attached to direct this ambitious film, to be produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg.

It was reported last year that the supremely talented actor was in talks to play the larger-than-life role of Sourav Ganguly in his biopic and after months of speculations, Ayushmann has now officially signed to headline the film, according to Peepinmoon.com.



"Producers Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, who are producing this film under their Luv Films banner, have hit a six by bringing together Ayushmann Khurrana and Vikramaditya Motwane. Both have established themselves as formidable forces with an incredible body of work throughout the years", the report says.

The stakeholders are jubilant to bring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vikramaditya Motwane and the kind of cinematic masterpiece they are set to create together. The director has already begun working on the pre-production while Ayushmann will soon start his preparation for his role and will reportedly undergo months of intense cricket training before starting the shoot.

The official announcement of the film will soon be made and it is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2024. Ayushmann, meanwhile, is also in advance talks to headline the sequel to "Border 2" and will join Sunny Deol for the same. It is expected to start rolling by the end of this year.
