On his 54th birthday, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly received a special surprise as the makers of his upcoming biopic, ‘Dada - The Sourav Ganguly Story,’ unveiled its first-look poster featuring actor RajKummar Rao.

Minutes after the poster was unveiled, Ganguly shared it on his social media and reacted to RajKummar Rao’s look. Calling it the “best gift ever,” he wrote, “The Best Gift Ever! Can’t wait to see you play my cover drive! @rajkummar_rao,”

The poster recreates one of the historic moments of Ganguly’s career, showing a shirtless RajKummar Rao waving his jersey from the Lord’s balcony after India’s famous NatWest Trophy win over England in 2002. Sharing the poster, the makers wrote, “Happy Birthday, our dearest Dada. @souravganguly #Dada #DadaTheSouravGangulyStory.”

The biographical sports drama will revolve around Dada’s journey from a young cricketer to one of India’s most successful captains. It will focus on his career, the challenges he faced, and the role he played in shaping a fearless Indian cricket team that inspired a new generation of players.
