Some of them will showcase incredible on-field achievements, while others will focus on inspiring journeys beyond the game.
1. Dada: The Sourav Ganguly story
Topping the list is Dada, the highly anticipated biopic on former India captain Sourav Ganguly. The film stars Rajkummar Rao in the lead role and will be directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. On Ganguly's 54th birthday, the makers officially announced that the film will hit theatres on May 14, 2027.
The biopic will trace Ganguly's journey from a talented youngster in Kolkata to one of India's greatest captains. It is expected to showcase how he transformed Indian cricket during one of its most challenging phases, instilling aggression, self-belief, and a fearless mindset that changed the team's fortunes.
Recently, Rajkummar Rao was spotted filming at Kolkata's iconic Maidan. Dressed in a white cricket jersey and cap with a new hairstyle, the actor looked remarkably similar to the former Indian skipper, generating excitement among fans.
Given Ganguly's immense contribution to Indian cricket and Rajkummar Rao's reputation as one of Bollywood's finest performers, Dada is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited sports biopics in the country.
