Bollywood fans have always loved sports biopics and a new one could be hitting the big screens soon. Recently, popular Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh revealed that he will soon announce a biopic on his life and shared that he thinks Badhaai Do actress Vicky Kaushal would be a suitable choice to play the lead character in the film.

Harbhajan Singh is a famous bowler who is fondly called “Bhaji” among other cricketers and fans. In a recent conversation with Instant Bollywood, Singh confirmed rumors that a biopic will be made on his life. He said that he plans to make a film about his life’s journey, although the timing of its production has not yet been determined.

Harbhajan said, “Ek do acche kahaniya hai jo main chahta hu duniya ke samne aaye toh, main woh jaldi declare karunga.” (There are one or two really good stories from my life that I want to tell the world. I will announce it soon.)

The cricketer’s journey from humble beginnings to the top of the cricketing world is inspiring and his plan to share his untold story has delighted fans.

When Harbhajan was asked which actor he thinks is suitable for the lead role in the film, he immediately mentioned Vicky Kaushal No. 1. Singh’s admiration for the Bollywood heartthrob was evident in his response. On the other hand, Kaushal is known for portraying diverse roles and real-life characters like Sardar Udham and Sam Manekshaw with ease on screen.

Harbhajan also acknowledged director Deepak’s creativity, noting that he writes and directs good films and can make anything possible.

For those who don’t know, Harbhajan Singh is one of the most successful spinners in the history of Indian cricket. He took 417 wickets in Test matches, 269 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 25 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) for India. He was also part of the teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 Cricket World Cup.

On the other hand, Vicky Kaushal will next be seen in Chhaava starring Rashmika Mandanna. He is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
