Top 3 upcoming biopics on Indian cricketers

Cricket and cinema are two of the biggest passions in India. Whenever the story of a legendary cricketer makes its way to the big screen, it naturally creates a lot of excitement among fans.

After the success of films based on legendary names of Indian cricket, such as MS Dhoni, Mithali Raj, and Sachin Tendulkar, several more cricket biopics are now in the works. Some will showcase incredible on-field achievements, while others will focus on inspiring journeys beyond the game.

One of the most ambitious cricket films currently in development. The film is tentatively called Lalkaar, a biopic on India's first-ever Test centurion, Lala Amarnath. The film will reportedly feature Aamir Khan in the lead role, while acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker will direct the project. The duo reunites 25 years after delivering the Oscar-nominated Lagaan, raising expectations for another memorable sports drama.

The story is expected to explore the impact of Partition on cricket before culminating in the historic 1952 Test series against Pakistan, where Amarnath led India to their first-ever Test victory over their neighbours.
