New Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi Tuesday gave his nod to Bollywood production house Percept Picture Company (PPC) for a "fictional biopic" on his life, said a top official of PPC.
"We had to wait for a bit but its through now. I had a meeting with him (Lalit Modi) in Mumbai at 11 in the morning and he is now very excited that he has committed for the film. It's a fictional biopic like Guru on Dhirubhai Ambani," joint managing director of PPC Shailendra Singh told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"The film is a great mix of entertainment, sports and a whole emotional vibe. Lalit's story has all the ingredients - rags to riches, fame, money and all that Indian audiences are going to enjoy watching. Indians at large would love to watch a good cricket marketing film," he added.
Titled The Commissioner, the script of the biopic is being written by Shridhar Raghavan and is "under development".
"We've got all the information and the research has been done. He (Raghavan) will take a couple of more months to be ready with the story and we should do the principal filming in 2010 and should be in a position to release the picture by end of the year," said Singh.
Asked about the director and the cast, he said: "We can't announce the director yet because we are still to finalise the choice, as it's first the script, then the director and then the casting for us. However, other than the lead, casting won't be much of an issue."
