Cricket and cinema are arguably India’s two greatest obsessions, and they are about to collide in spectacular fashion. On the occasion of the legendary cricketer’s birthday, the makers of the highly anticipated Sourav Ganguly biopic have officially dropped the first-look poster of ‘Dada – The Sourav Ganguly Story’.
Stepping into the colossal shoes of the former Indian captain is none other than the powerhouse performer Rajkummar Rao. Known for his chameleonic ability to disappear into characters, Rao’s first look promises a deeply authentic portrayal of Bengal’s favorite son.
The makers didn’t stop at just a visual teaser; they have also locked in a massive release window. ‘Dada – The Sourav Ganguly Story’ is set to hit theaters on May 14, 2027, strategically timing its arrival to cash in on the lucrative, extended Eid holiday weekend.
The visionary Vikramaditya Motwane (Udaan, Lootera), promising a gritty, nuanced, and cinematic look at Ganguly’s life rather than a run-of-the-mill sports drama.
Producers of the film are Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg. The Presenters are Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, T-Series, and DBL.
From the iconic shirt-waving moment at Lord’s to the complex corridors of cricket administration, the film is poised to capture the fierce grit, the controversies, and the undisputed legacy of India’s most defiant captain.
Get ready to witness the Maharaja of Indian cricket reclaim his throne, this time on the silver screen.
