Lalit Modi Confirms Biopic in Development, Ranveer Singh Expressed Interest to StarPreviousNext

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has revealed that a biopic based on his life is currently in the scripting stage, with extensive research and interviews underway. Modi shared that Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh expressed interest in portraying him and met Modi in London a few years ago to discuss the role. While no actor has been finalized, Modi praised Ranveer's work, especially his performance in Dhurandhar, but is unsure if the actor remains interested given his rising fame.
