Kaun banega...
Right now, it's a toss-up betweenu00a0 Ajay Devgn and Irrfan Khan for the part of the former IPL commissioner.
Perceptu00a0 Ltd hasu00a0 approached bothu00a0 Devgn and Khan. While Devgn has earlieru00a0 played biographical charactersu00a0 inu00a0 Mahesh Bhatt's Zakhm, Ram Gopal Varma's Company and Raj Santoshi's The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, he is reluctant tou00a0 playu00a0 Modi, Irrfanu00a0 apparently wouldu00a0 like to work his dates aroundu00a0 the project.



Says Shailendra Singh, "We haven't zeroed in on the cast. But I am not denying the names you've mentioned. We are looking at an actor who can ACT, who looks likeu00a0 Modi and is familiar with the biopic format." On all three counts, both Devgn andu00a0 Irrfanu00a0 fit the bill.
