Rao’s Transformation for the Ganguly Biopic
Dada- The Sourav Ganguly Story had made headlines recently as well- albeit for a different reason altogether. Rajkummar’s changed appearance had left fans concerned in February, after he attended an event with weight put on and a different hairstyle. He had to clarify and assure everyone that nothing was wrong with his health then- he was prepping for his next film, the Ganguly biopic, for which he had to undergo a transformation. “For Nikam I had to gain around 9-10 kgs and I was eating 2 pizzas and lot of sweets and my fav Aloo Parathas, Biryani and to not use anything glam to look like the part. Hopefully when you will see the film which will be releasing soon you will be able to see all that hardwork in the film. And now it’s the transition phase and time to lose these extra kgs and get ready to slip into Ganguly mode. Our very own Dada,” read a portion of his post on Instagram.
With filming underway and the title revealed, the Sourav Ganguly biopic starring Rajkummar Rao is generating significant excitement. Fans eagerly await Rao’s portrayal of the iconic cricketer, showcasing his dedication to the role.
