The makers of ‘Dada – The Sourav Ganguly Story’, the biographical film based on the life of former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly, have unveiled the film’s first-look poster on the occasion of his birthday. Along with the poster, they officially announced that the film will release in theatres worldwide on May 14, 2027.
The first-look poster recreates one of the most iconic moments in Indian cricket history—Sourav Ganguly waving his jersey from the Lord’s balcony after India’s memorable NatWest Trophy triumph over England in 2002. Actor Rajkummar Rao steps into Ganguly’s shoes, bringing the celebrated moment to life on screen. The image, which symbolized a fearless new era in Indian cricket under Ganguly’s leadership, remains an enduring emblem of confidence, defiance, and belief.
The film chronicles the extraordinary journey of Sourav Ganguly, a man who not only played the game but transformed it. It traces his rise from a promising young cricketer to one of India’s most influential captains, celebrating the grit, resilience, determination, and leadership that redefined Indian cricket and inspired an entire generation.
Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, the film stars Rajkummar Rao as Sourav Ganguly. Produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, the film is presented by Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, T-Series, and DBL, and is a Luv Films production. ‘Dada – The Sourav Ganguly Story’ is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on May 14, 2027.
