Ravi Bhagchandka’s 200 NOT OUT Films Collaborates with Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series for Yuvraj Singh Biopic
Yuvraj Singh is celebrated as one of cricket’s greats, and the announcement of his untitled biopic last year sparked considerable excitement among his fans. Filmmaker Ravi Bhagchandka has offered a sneak peek into further developments on the project, following a recent meeting with the cricket icon.
In a recent update posted on his Instagram stories, Bhagchandka shared a photograph with Yuvraj Singh, captioned “what the score.” The announcement of the biopic came from Bhagchandka’s 200 NOT OUT Films, in partnership with Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, which delighted cricket enthusiasts around the world. Yuvraj Singh’s journey is not just a tale of athletic prowess but also an inspiring narrative filled with triumphs and challenges, making it a compelling story ideal for a cinematic adaptation. His career, marked by phenomenal achievements like hitting six sixes in an over, alongside personal trials such as battling cancer, positions him as a true hero.
The role of narrating Yuvraj’s extraordinary life story is entrusted to Ravi Bhagchandka, who previously directed “Sachin: A Billion Dreams.” With a strong background in cricket and a passion for filmmaking, Bhagchandka appears well-suited to craft a film that pays homage to Yuvraj Singh under his 200 NOT OUT Films banner.
Moreover, reports suggest that Bhagchandka has secured the rights for a biopic on Vinod Kambli, showcasing his prowess in capturing the narratives of cricket legends. Currently, he is also poised to release “Sitaare Zameen Par,” a project co-produced with Aamir Khan Productions.
There are whispers in the industry regarding Fatima Sana Shaikh possibly playing Yuvraj Singh’s love interest in the biopic. An insider noted, “The team is considering Fatima Sana Shaikh for the pivotal role, though there has been little formal communication from her or the production team regarding this casting.”
Since his debut on the international cricket stage in 2000, Yuvraj Singh has left an everlasting legacy. With his explosive batting style and exceptional fielding skills, he won the hearts of fans around the globe. His cricketing accomplishments are equally matched by his resilience, particularly highlighted during the 2011 World Cup, when he was diagnosed with cancer yet still delivered a stellar performance, earning the title of Player of the Tournament. His courageous fight against the illness and triumphant return to the sport in 2012 has inspired millions, making him not just a cricketing hero but also a symbol of strength and perseverance.
