The untitled film will also be coproduced by Ravi Bhagchandka, who has to his credit "Sachin: A Billion Dreams" and the upcoming "Sitaare Zameen Par" starring Aamir Khan.
The movie has been envisaged, according to an official press release, as a "grand celebration" of Singh's illustrious journey as a cricketer, his historic six sixes in the 2007 T20 World Cup, his brave struggle against cancer, and his marvelous comeback into cricket in 2012.
Singh mentioned that he is deeply honored to think of his recognition going global, stating, "Cricket is my ultimate love that has only strengthened my being through all the highs and lows." He added, "I hope this film inspires others to overcome their own challenges and pursue their dreams with unwavering passion.
During his career, Singh played 40 Test matches, scoring 1,900 runs and nine wickets in the process. However, his dominance was most evident in limited-overs cricket, where he scored 8,701 runs and claimed 111 wickets in 304 ODIs.
Details like who will direct the film and who will be the cast remain unknown. Until then, here are a couple of other biopics on Indian cricketers that are well worth the watch:
1. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story
Released in 2016, this film is based on the life of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, acted by Sushant Singh Rajput. This movie is directed by Neeraj Pandey and fared really well at the box office, giving the viewers a deep perspective on the life and journey of Dhoni.
Also released in 2016, this was another biographical film about ex-Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin and played by Emraan Hashmi. The infamous 2000 match-fixing scandal is directed by Tony D'Souza in this film, and this covers his whole life, yet it received a mixed review from the critic and audience.
3. Shabaash Mith
This film, from 2022, takes a closer look at the career of India's finest female cricketer, Mithali Raj, played by Taapsee Pannu. Directed by Srijit Mukherjee, the film didn't make a splash despite a brilliant turn by Pannu.
4. Kaun Pravin Tambe?
This 2022 film is made on the life of leg-spinner Pravin Tambe, who entered the IPL at 41. Directed by Jayprad Desai, it features the lead role essayed by Shreyas Talpade, covering an inspirational journey of Tambe from tennis-ball cricket to first-class cricket.
Also, every cricket enthusiast is recommended to watch the documentary **Sachin: A Billion Dreams** (2017) and the film **83** (2021) celebrating how India won the 1983 World Cup.
