While revealing that he is authoring the biopic's script himself, Ganguly stated that he was travelling to Mumbai and there were many conversations yet to be discussed about the film's plot.
The biopic's development had stalled for several months, according to the former BCCI president, because of his and the production company's busy schedules. But the former captain said it will be completed soon this time. Sourav was evasive when asked who would play him in the movie, saying that no decision had been made in that regard yet and would be decided in the meeting.
Ganguly disclosed during a media interview last year that Bengali filmmaker Srijit Mukherji had contacted him with the concept for a biopic.
