A film adaptation of Lalit Modi’s life is in development, focusing on his role in helping create the Indian Premier League (IPL) and later controversies. Multiple outlets report the project is backed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, with writing work underway.
According to reports, writer-producer Sneha Rajani is developing the story, with an emphasis on portraying the “man behind the headlines.” Details such as the film’s director and cast are not yet announced. NDTV specifically notes the project is being developed as a big-budget biopic and includes speculation that Ranveer Singh could be considered for a lead role, though no casting decisions are confirmed.
The coverage largely aligns on the film’s core premise—covering Lalit Modi’s rise and subsequent contentious period—while differing in how much is said about potential casting. Both sources confirm that development is ongoing and that additional production details are expected to be revealed later.
