Who will play Dada?


Pratik Gandhi, Vicky Kaushal, Hrithik Roshan and  Luv Ranjan


On Thursday, Luv Ranjan announced a biopic on Sourav Ganguly and put a full stop to the speculation about recreating the sports icon’s life on screen.  Dada’s fans began the casting process as soon as the filmmaker and the former India cricket captain shared the news on social media. Many wondered if Ranjan would rope in Ranbir Kapoor as he is also collaborating with him on an untitled rom-com. Ganguly is reportedly keen on him. Last year, on Neha Dhupia’s chat show, No Filter Neha, Dada had said that if Hrithik Roshan is under consideration, he would have “to work on getting a lean body like him.” A section of netizens suggested Scam 1992 actor Pratik Gandhi and Vicky Kaushal. Others wondered if Rajan would rope in Kartik Aaryan as he has worked with him in the Pyaar Ka Punchnama franchise. Though there were several suggestions, RK emerged as the top choice.
