From revolutionizing Indian cricket through the creation of the IPL to his controversial tenure as the league’s commissioner, Modi’s life has been a rollercoaster of ambition, success, and scandal — exactly the kind of larger-than-life material Bollywood biopics thrive on.
A source close to the project revealed that the goal isn’t just to dramatize the headlines, but to genuinely explore the man behind them, with the writing and development phase still underway as the makers work to get the story right before moving forward.
Adding credibility to the project, writer-producer Sneha Rajani is confirmed to be part of the development team. Interestingly, Modi himself had previously acknowledged that a biopic on his life was in the works, with Rajani leading that very team — meaning this isn’t just industry buzz, but a project with the subject’s own involvement.
