Director Luv Ranjan tweeted, “It is more than an honour to have Dada in the Luv Films family! Thank you for making us a part of your life and letting us share it with the world.” Ganguly played in 113 Tests and scored 7,212 runs for India while finishing with 11,363 runs in 311 ODIs. Fondly known as The Prince of Kolkata, he was one of the most successful captains for India, taking the team to the final of the ODI World Cup in 2003 and to greater heights in Tests.

This movie will capture Sourav Ganguly’s journey from being the Indian captain and winning international accolades for the country to being the BCCI president. No lead actor has been announced by the makers yet. However, the former Indian captain had previously expressed that he would recommend Ranbir Kapoor to play his role in the biopic.

Bollywood has also previously produced biopics of sportspersons as MS Dhoni, Mohammad Azharuddin, hockey player Sandeep Singh, Saina Nehwal, Milkha Singh, and Mary Kom.

Another inside detail of Subrata Roy’s biopic is in the news today. This biopic first made headlines last month when it was announced that Sandeep Singh had acquired the rights of the film. Now is the news that two of the industry’s legends, A. R. Rahman and Gulzar will compose and pen lyrics respectively for this biopic. The film is reported to be one that will span several continents and traverse the tycoon’s journey over the decades. Produced by Sandeep Singh, the title and cast of the biopic are expected to be announced shortly.

According to the reports in the Bollywood Times, the actress was staying at a hotel so that it was convenient for her to travel to sets. After shooting for 3 weeks the actress started feeling weak and had to excuse herself from the shoot thinking she would be better in a day. Even after the rest, the actress felt sick for continous 2days. Being in that condition made her feel that everything was spiraling downwards and so the crew had to take her to the Hinduja hospital immediately. The condition of the actress had degraded to a limit that she couldn’t walk and needed a wheelchair so that she could be taken upstairs. The actress revealed that her blood pressure by then had dropped to 65/55.

Nushrratt’s parents had to come to the hospital where the actress was asked by the doctors to be on complete rest for a week. The actress was not hospitalized but she took rest at home. With the actress the whole caste had to take an off because most of the scenes required the actress herself

When asked about facing the camera, that too in a pandemic, he said, “It’s good to know what happens on the other side of the camera (laughs). I’m quite enjoying it. It’s a happy atmosphere on set, and it’s with Dimple, a person I’ve known for a long time. In fact, even before she started shooting for Bobby. I’ve been Chintu’s (late Rishi Kapoor) friend and have seen Ranbir grow. I didn’t interact with him much, and the same with Shraddha. Her father Shakti has worked in a couple of my films.”

The producer-actor further added, “One has to live with this kind of situation, which is unravelling around us. “I don’t know… this fear of corona, or Covid-19 as you call it. There has been a first, then second wave, and the fear of the third wave. One has got to get used to living with safety in mind. What the pandemic has brought about, this is going to be something which will discipline the normal life of people also,” told Kapoor.

Boney Kapoor then said precautions will be followed in the future, not just for Covid-19. He then added that the economy needs to be revitalised. As a producer, 5 of his films are on hold.

At the end of the conservation, Boney Kapoor said, “I just restarted a Tamil film, just 10 days of shooting left. I have another Hindi film starting with my daughter Janhvi. Then another film with Ajith. Too many things are lined up, and they can’t be kept on pause for a long time. One has got to get used to this kind of life, keeping the safety factors in mind,”
