There is much interest in the Sourav Ganguly biopic as it not only focuses on one of Indian cricket’s most successful skippers, but also marks Rajkummar Rao and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane’s reunion after Trapped (2016). But there is still time before they take the movie on floors as it’s currently in pre-production. That has left Rao with enough window to begin work on his next, directed by Aditya Nimbalkar.

mid-day has learnt that the Netflix film is a dark comedy centred on a murder. The shoot is expected to begin this month. A source revealed, “It will be shot at 1 Aerocity in Marol, and Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai. Aditya has charted out a two-month shoot. Rajkummar was so impressed by the script that he also came on board as a co-producer.” The film marks his second production after Toaster, which is slated to drop on Netflix this year.


Another insider shares that the yet-untitled film is far removed from Nimbalkar’s last release, the gritty Sector 36 (2024). “This film offers a new take on the murder mystery genre, with lots of quirky elements. It’s a black comedy.” The makers are apparently eyeing an early 2026 release.
