In a video shared online, Ranbir said, "I think dada (Sourav Ganguly) is a living legend not just in India, around the world. A biopic on him will be very special. Unfortunately, mujhe yeh film offer nahi huyi hai (I have not been offered this film). I think the makers of Luv films are still writing the
script."
Talking about being a part of the biopic of Kishore Kumar, Ranbir added, "Main 11 saal se Kishore Kumar ke biopic pe kaam karraha hoon (I have been working on Kishore Kumar's biopic for 11 years). We have been writing that with Anurag Basu and I'm hoping that it's gonna be my next biopic. But maine abhi tak dada k upar jo biopic banrahi hai uske baare mein kuch suna nahi hai (But so far I haven't heard anything about the biopic being made on dada). So, I don't know."
Earlier on Sunday, Ranbir and Sourav Ganguly played cricket at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. Several pictures of the duo on the field emerged online. In the photos, they were also seen having a conversation. The duo also posed for pictures.
