Kolkata, Oct 19 Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday celebrated Maha Ashtami in a special way: by hosting Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao and film producer Ankur Garg at his residence here before taking them on pandal-hopping.
The occasion brought together West Bengal’s beloved cricketing legend and the actor who is set to bring his extraordinary story to life through the movie ‘Dada-The Sourav Ganguly Story’, set for release in cinemas next year.
The celebrations began at Ganguly’s home, where he hosted Rao and Garg. They exchanged festive wishes and sought blessings at the family’s Durga Puja celebrations.
They then visited some of Kolkata’s most iconic festive destinations, including Maddox Square and Allen Park.
Rao said he was happy to be in Kolkata during Durga Puja, and he was in love with the city and its people.
The film, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and produced by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, is set for worldwide release on May 14, 2027.
