Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, renowned for her performances in films like Dangal, Ludo, Ajeeb Daastaans, and Sam Bahadur, is reportedly being considered for a significant role in the upcoming biopic of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh. According to reports, Fatima may portray Yuvraj’s love interest in the film, adding another real-life character to her repertoire, following her portrayals in Dangal and Sam Bahadur.
An independent industry source shared, “The team is considering Fatima Sana Shaikh to play Yuvraj Singh’s love interest in his biopic. Although neither the actress nor the filmmakers have confirmed this, there is a strong possibility that she might be seen playing a pivotal role in the film.”
The filmmakers have yet to finalize the male lead for the biopic. Directed by Ravi Bhagchandka, the yet-to-be-titled film promises to be a grand tribute to Yuvraj Singh’s remarkable cricketing journey, including iconic moments such as his six consecutive sixes in the 2007 T20 World Cup and his outstanding performance in the 2011 World Cup, which helped India lift the trophy after 28 years.
Since his international debut in 2000, Yuvraj Singh has captivated cricket fans with his aggressive left-handed batting and exceptional fielding. His journey, however, goes beyond his achievements on the cricket field. Diagnosed with cancer in 2011, Yuvraj continued to represent India in the World Cup, where he was named Player of the Tournament. His battle with cancer and his return to cricket in 2012 is a testament to his resilience and has inspired millions worldwide.
The film is being produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ravi Bhagchandka and the movie will certainly be a treat for cricket lovers.
