The makers have finally revealed the title for the upcoming biopic on former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly. Rajkummar Rao announced the title on social media with an intriguing glimpse. The announcement also refers to the film going on floors. Rajkummar captioned the film as, “And it begins… The one and only #DADA [heart emoticon] 🇮🇳 @souravganguly @motwayne #LuvRanjan @gargankur82 @luv_films.”

The movie has been titled Dada The Sourav Ganguly Story. One photo shows the clapboard used while shooting the film while another shows the Sourav Ganguly Stand, which is located at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. The stand was unveiled in 2017 to honour the former Indian captain and Bengal cricket legend, becoming a permanent fixture at the ground where he started his career.

The movie will be directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and produced by Luv Ranjan. Recently, Rao was seen in a different avatar as fans were concerned about his weight changes. He assured fans of being in fine health and opened up about undergoing transformation for the Ganguly biopic.

He revealed, “For Nikam I had to gain around 9-10 kgs and I was eating 2 pizzas and lot of sweets and my fav Aloo Parathas, Biryani and to not use anything glam to look like the part. Hopefully when you will see the film which will be releasing soon you will be able to see all that hardwork in the film. And now it’s the transition phase and time to lose these extra kgs and get ready to slip into Ganguly mode. Our very own Dada.”

During an interview with PTI in July 2025, Ganguly said Rao is the right choice to portray him in the film. “I think the right person is doing it… I’ll help him with everything,” he noted.
