Biopics of the sportspersons has become a trend in Bollywood currently and it is no surprise that the cricketers are ahead even in this aspect. Recently, MS Dhoni‘s biopic completed two years of its release and it was a blockbuster hit in the box office with the actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who played Dhoni’s role, being lauded by the fraternity. However, the fans are expecting for a movie on Yuvraj Singh’s life for a long time now and none other than Abhishek Bachchan wants to take up the leading role in the film.

The popular Bollywood actor was recently seen in the movie Manmarziyaan along with his co-stars, Vicky Kaushal and Tapsee Pannu. The film had a different tinge to it and has been doing well after releasing a couple of weeks ago. The trio of actors were busy with the movie’s promotion before its release and the Junior Bachchan was asked by a fan about one sportsperson’s biopic he would love to do.

However, like he has been saying it for the years now, Abhishek said that he would love to enact in Yuvraj Singh’s biopic. The left-handed cricketer has been the hero of two World Cup victories in 2007 and 2011 and had also won the Man of the Series award in 2011 World Cup which happened in the sub-continent.

It’ll be a fantastic biopic

Abhishek Bachchan, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, showered praises on Yuvraj for what he’s done in his illustrious career and felt that his biopic will be a superb one. He termed the cricketer as ‘hero’ and lauded him for the way he has handled all the ups and downs in his life.

“So, I’ve said this many years ago, I was very interested, I still feel it’ll be a fantastic biopic. I think Yuvraj Singh‘s life is a film dying to be made. He is an absolute hero, his life arc has been amazing. From his rise as the youngster to the Indian cricket team, his life, his flamboyance, his style, his great gameplay, to finding out that he has cancer, fighting cancer, winning the world cup, making it back to the Indian national team. Great Story,” the actor said.
