Sourav Ganguly to debut in Bengali cinema

Sourav Ganguly, former Indian captain is set to debut in bengali movies? Well sources says it true as Postnoon reports that "DADA" has bought the bengali remake rights of Mohan Krishna Indraganti’s Telegu Movie Golconda High School (2011). In the movie lead actor Sumanth played the role of a cricket coach; and it is heard that Sourav Ganguly is to reprise the character in the bengali version. Sumanth cinfirmed to Postnoon as "He (Sourav Ganguly) expressed interest in the film once he saw it and hence he bought the Bengali rights. I think it is super apt for him and I am sure he will do a great job. Except for the Bengali version, we have rights for rest of the world and we are dubbing the film into English for an international release."

As Postnoon reports :
"The film is based on Harimohan Paruvu’s novel The Men Within and Mohan Krishna Indraganti had written the screenplay for the film adaptation. Ram Mohan had produced the Telugu version. The film narrates the story of how a cricket coach inspires a group of students to put aside their differences and shine both on and off the cricket field"
After retiring from Dadagiri (Zee Bangla) he was busy with Ke Hobe Banglar Kotipoti (Bengali version of Kaun Banega Crorepati). And we will see him in this upcoming IPL with Kochi Tuskers.
Nothing has been started or decided yet. Just his remake right buying news is confirmed. If he ensures his onscreen presence then it is the first time any bengali cricketer who will be seen acting in silver screens. Well, we hope his DADAGIRI also continues in his new innings :-).
