5 Indian sports stars who deserve a biopic of their own

Saurav Ganguly: The rebellious 'Prince' of Kolkata

A spoilt brat, who refuses to do lowly jobs, a captain who pays his rivals back in the same coin, an aggressive player who wants to win at all costs, a legend who inculcates the habit of winning in the Indian cricketers and a rebel who no one can stop.

The life of ex-Indian cricket captain Saurav Chandidas Ganguly, 'The Prince of Kolkata' is the perfect recipe for a spicy Bollywood biopic. A maverick who never played by the rules, a cricketer who scored a smashing century against the English on debut, a captain who led India to a World Cup final after 3 decades are some of the glorious feathers in the cap of this Bengali legend.

Apart from that, his controversial spat with ex-coach Greg Chappell or his whirling of the jersey at the Lords after India won a testing tri-series against England in 2002, or even his love story with choreographer cum classical dancer Dona Roy would add more drama and excitement to his already roller-coaster life. If this hits the floors, Saurav Ganguly's biopic can raise him to the status of immortal legends, in a certainly better way than the disastrous biopic of 'Azhar'.

Fun fact, if Ranveer Singh is chosen for the titular role, he will set the box office on fire, since the life of Saurav Dada exactly resonates with his own maverick life, albeit on a different stage!
