A Biopic About Indian Cricket Legend Lala Amarnath Will Be Directed By Rajkumar Hirani.

Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan are currently filming Dunki. After the phenomenal success of SRK's most recent release and comeback film Pathaan, the film is one of this year's most eagerly anticipated releases. However, before Dunki is finished, there are already rumors about Hirani's next project, which will be his second biopic after Sanju. According to a report from Peeping Moon, he will present the life of Lala Amarnath, a former Indian cricket legend.

The report also stated that the film will be produced by Excel Entertainment, which is owned by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. According to a source, Rajkumar Hirani has been planning a Lala Amarnath biopic since 2019, according to the publication. In point of fact, it was one of the two scripts he presented to SRK; however, the superstar selected Dunki, and the biopic was put on hold for the time being. Hirani has requested his writing team to finish the script by the end of the year in order to revive the Lala Amarnath biopic after Dunki's release. It's a story that Hirani has a lot of passion for, and he intends to start working on it as soon as Dunki is out of his system.

The date of Lala Amarnath's birth is September 11, 1911. He bowled medium fast with a right arm and batted with his right hand. He scored one century and four half-centuries in 24 test matches for India. He took 45 wickets as a bowler in those many matches, including two five-wicket hauls. He competed in 186 domestic games. In 2000, he passed away at the age of 88.

Additionally, the source stated that the biopic will provide a lot of entertainment. The film about Lala Amarnath is not your typical sports biopic. Hirani will tell his story in the same entertaining way he always does, highlighting Lala's career, his spasmodic brilliance, and his lasting impact on Indian cricket. It is anticipated that this movie will star a promising young star. However, the source added, "The director will finalize someone only after he finishes shooting Dunki."

Lala Amarnath's character will be explored in more than one feature film. Lala Amarnath appeared in a few scenes of the critically acclaimed film 83 starring Kabir Khan. Mohinder Amarnath, his son and another cricketing great, played his character, which is interesting.
