Devgan to Play Lalit Modi?

Buzz is that controversial IPL Chief, Lalit Modi will have an onscreen rendition, if all goes well, in the tradition of biopic projects that has taken hold of Bollywood in recent times. Reports say that Ajay Devgan has already been approached to play the part but he is apprehensive about taking on the assignment. The 2nd choice for the role is Irrfan Khan, who is also being considered to play the expelled IPL chief.

Shailendra Singh, the Percept head was quoted as saying, “We are looking at an actor who can act, who looks like Modi and is familiar with the biopic format.” The film is to be directed by Shamim Desai. One wonders whether or not a sequence with Modi’s character preparing the 10,000 above pages answer to the show-cause letter issued to him would also be included in the movie.
