On former India captain Sourav Ganguly’s 54th birthday on Wednesday, Luv Films dropped the first look of the cricketer’s upcoming biopic, DADA: The Sourav Ganguly Story. The film, starring Rajkummar Rao, will hit the screens on May 14 next year. It chronicles the extraordinary journey of the man who didn’t just play the game but changed it.

Sourav Ganguly’s biopic first look out

The official first-look poster captures Rajkummar Rao in a cinematic recreation of Sourav Ganguly’s iconic jersey-waving moment at Lord’s balcony following India’s historic NatWest Trophy triumph over England in 2002. Widely regarded as a defining image, the celebration came to symbolize a fearless new era of Indian cricket under Ganguly’s leadership and remains an enduring emblem of confidence, defiance, and belief.
