Is ‘Doosra’ Sourav Ganguly’s biopic? Director Abhinay Deo clarifies

It’s Sourav Ganguly’s birthday today and the whole nation is going berserk. On this special day, there are also reports doing the rounds of social media that director Abhinay Deo’s upcoming film ‘Doosra’ is a biopic on the life of Sourav Ganguly. We got talking to the master director himself and asked whether the reports are true or not.

“This is a film about the changing times of the country. It’s about how a sport changed the outlook of the youth towards the country. It’s about the captain of the team at that time, Sourav Ganguly, and the inspiration that he passed on to the youth of that time. There have been people who took inspiration from that aggressive outlook of Sourav Ganguly which forms a crux of the movie. So in the movie, we haven’t tried to dramatize the moments from history, but we have used the actual footage and tried to combine it with fiction. It’s a new sort of an experiment where fiction and documentary have been brought together,” said Abhinay.

For all the people who grew up in the 1990s, the 2002 Natwest series victory of India against England was surely one of the most prized moments. It was a day when we, as a nation, started to believe that we could overcome any thing and come out victorious.
