In a monumental announcement, Bhushan Kumar and Ravi Bhagchandka are set to bring the extraordinary life of Yuvraj Singh to cinemas with an upcoming biopic that celebrates the legendary cricketer's resilience and triumphs.
This film promises to be a grand homage to Yuvraj’s remarkable journey, capturing the essence of his illustrious career, including his unforgettable six sixes in the 2007 T20 World Cup, and his courageous battles off the field.
Yuvraj Singh, celebrated for his flamboyant style and unwavering spirit, has left an indelible mark on the world of cricket. Since his international debut in 2000, Yuvraj quickly became a fan favorite with his aggressive left-handed batting and electrifying fielding.

I am thrilled to bring a story that needs to be told and heard through the big screen and to celebrate his extraordinary achievements”
Yuvraj expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am deeply honored that my story will be showcased to millions of my fans across the globe by Bhushan ji & Ravi. Cricket has been my greatest love and source of strength through all the highs and lows. I hope this film inspires others to overcome their own challenges and pursue their dreams with unwavering passion.”
The film will be co-produced by Ravi Bhagchandka, known for Sachin: A Billion Dreams and Sitaare Zameen Par. Reflecting on his connection with Yuvraj, Ravi shared, "Yuvraj has been a dear friend for many years. I'm honored that he trusted us to translate his incredible cricketing journey into a cinematic experience. Yuvi is not just a world champion but a true legend in every sense of the word."
