Sports dramas are ruling
Bollywood
and yet another film on cricket is in the making. After bankrolling ’83, producer
Vishnu Vardhan Induri
has announced a film on a popular cricket tournament. This venture will be adapted from
Boria Majumdar
’s book which chronicles a mega sports event headlined by
Lalit Modi.
Speaking about the same, Vishnu Vardhan Induri said in a statement, “Winning the 1983 World Cup was just the tip of the iceberg. No one in the world could believe that a few years down the line India would rule the world of cricket. Almost a quarter century later came the Neil Armstrong moment of cricket.”
The film's narrative will reportedly begin from 2007, when the said league started. It will narrate tales of glamour, controversies, scandals and high profile people being involved in the game. This tournament was an amalgamation of several Bollywood celebrities and cricket.
