Siddhant Chaturvedi expresses desire to play Yuvraj Singh in biopic: “I’ll keep manifesting it”In a recent interaction, Siddhant was asked which cricketer’s life he would most like to bring to the big screen. His response was clear. “Biopic, of course — all the time. I have kept telling this from day one, since 2019, and I’ll say it even now and manifest that one day it happens — Yuvraj Singh,” he said.

Explaining his choice, the actor pointed to the cricketer’s eventful journey, both on and off the field. “His journey has been incredible; it’s been a rollercoaster ride. I have loved and adored him through all his games — his play, his lifestyle, and the problems and tragedies he has faced. He’s an icon, and the world needs to see the film and know his story,” he added.

While there has been no official announcement regarding a Yuvraj Singh biopic, Siddhant’s continued interest has sparked conversations among fans about the possibility. Over the years, sports biopics have found a steady audience in India, and Yuvraj’s journey — from World Cup heroics to his widely documented battle with cancer — is often cited as cinematic material.

Interestingly, Siddhant is no stranger to cricket-based narratives. Early in his career, he featured in the web series Inside Edge, which revolved around the world of professional cricket and its behind-the-scenes complexities. The show marked one of his early breakthroughs and established him as a performer capable of handling layered roles.

The actor is also set to portray veteran filmmaker V. Shantaram in an upcoming biographical project, further strengthening his association with real-life inspired stories. With Do Deewane Seher Mein, co-starring Mrunal Thakur, scheduled to release this weekend, Siddhant appears to be entering a busy phase.

For now, his wish to headline a film based on Yuvraj Singh remains aspirational. Whether the project materialises in the future is yet to be seen, but the actor has made it clear that it is a role he continues to hope for.
