Sourav Ganguly's Kolkata home recreated for biopic
A movie about Sourav Ganguly, the famous cricket player, is being made.
The director, Vikramaditya Motwane, visited Ganguly's house in Kolkata to take pictures and videos so they can build a copy of it in a studio in Mumbai.
They want to make sure everything is just like the real house, even the names of the trees.
The movie will show Ganguly's life up until 2011.
They are also looking for an actress to play Ganguly's wife, Dona.
The movie will be filmed in Kolkata, Mumbai, and London, and they hope to start shooting in March.
Ganguly's family is helping to make sure the movie is true to his life.
