It is raining biopics quite heavily on Bollywood! The filmmakers are damn keen on picking up the interesting, inspiring figures and chronicling their lives on the silver screen. It is debatable how authentic these biopics are but let's not get into that! So, the latest scoop on biopics is that filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is collaborating with Fox Star Studios for a biopic on a 'legendary cricketer.' Speculations are that it will be on Lala Amarnath! Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's Film to Go On Floors in April 2020?.

We have seen a few stories of the cricketers in the recent past and they all were well received by the fans. So, betting upon another brand new story in the same genre can mint money and earn rave reviews. Also, there is another cricket-based film helmed by him apart from a web-series. A lot's on the plate for the director but no Munnabhai 3 is seen in the vicinity.

Next #cricket story being penned by #AbhijatJoshi... Hirani is also working on a web series... Let's see which goes on floors first."
