Vikramaditya Motwane has announced the beginning of Dada — the biopic on cricketer Sourav Ganguly with a post on Instagram of the black-and-white shot of the Sourav Ganguly Stand at Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. Along with the picture he wrote, “Take your seats.” The film is headlined by Rajkummar Rao. Going by the grapevine, Boman Irani and Gajraj Rao are in advanced talks to play Ganguly’s father, Chandi Ganguly and as former BCCI President, Jagmohan Dalmiya, respectively.
