In case you missed it, Vikramaditya Motwane was first considered as the director of the Sourav Ganguly biography. But, to everyone’s surprise, he declined the offer to concentrate on his subsequent undertakings. Then, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, a Tamil filmmaker, was considered by the creators; however, it too eventually fell through.
Though the reason behind Motwane’s return to the project is yet unknown. He has started work on it and might be eager to tell Ganguly’s story in the most creative way.
