T-Series head Bhushan Kumar, known for films such as Animal and Kabir Singh, is joining forces with producer Ravi Bhagchandka to bring Yuvraj’s story to life. Ravi had earlier backed the 2017 Sachin Tendulkar documentary, Sachin: A Billion Dreams.
As per a report by Variety, the film is expected to recreate an iconic moment in Yuvraj’s long career: he famously hit six sixes in a single over against England bowler Stuart Broad uring India’s 2007 T20 World Cup-winning campaign.
His contributions to India’s 2011 World Cup victory, where he was player of the series, are also expected to feature. In 2011, Yuvraj was diagnosed with cancer and his subsequent battle and triumphant return to cricket in 2012 is expected to be another highlight. Yuvraj announced his retirement from international cricket in 2019.
