Luv Films To Produce Movie On Biopic Of Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly is one of the most successful captain in the history of Indian cricket and currently serves as President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Luv Films has wrote it in their Instagram, "We are thrilled to announce that Luv Films will produce Dada Sourav Ganguly"s biopic".

"We are honoured to be entrusted with this responsibility and look forward to a great innings," the producers further said.

Earlier, Ganguly had revealed that a biopic on his life was in works. He also confirmed the news on social media with the caption "Let's get this ball rolling".

"Cricket has been everything in my life, it gave confidence and ability to walk forward with my head held high, a journey to be cherished.

"Thrilled to share Luv Films will produce a biopic on my journey and bring it to life for the big screen (sic)," the Ganguly wrote in his Instagram post.

Indian cricket fans always remember the iconic moment 19 years ago when the then Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly took his shirt off at the Lord's balcony after India chased a target of 325 to win the NatWest Series final against England in London. India looked down and out in that match on July 13, 2002, having lost five wickets for 146 runs while chasing a mammoth 325/5 posted by hosts England.

But Yuvraj Singh (69) and Mohammad Kaif (87 not out), who were then youngsters, came together in a partnership that eventually won India the match. Ganguly was so excited by this thrilling victory that he took his shirt off and waved it over his head, as retaliation to a similar gesture by England allrounder Andrew Flintoff at the Wankhede stadium after England's win in the sixth and final ODI in 2002.
