Kolkata, September 6: : Former India captain Sourav Ganguly will soon be seen in action in front of the camera in a one-hour twenty minute-long docu-feature that will showcase the ace cricketer's journey from childhood.

Titled The Warrior Prince, the docu-feature is being produced and directed by Mitali Ghosal, a sports journalist-turned-filmmaker, who struck upon the idea of making the docu-feature on Ganguly after seeing his first century at the Eden Gardens in this year's Pakistan's tour of India.

"It will be a documentary-cum-feature... In the sense, it will not only feature Ganguly's cricketing highs and lows with the facts and figures, but it will also include his personal life, with inputs from his wife (Dona), brother (Snehashish), father (Chandidas) and also friends," revealed Ghosal.

"Many things in Ganguly's life are still unknown... How he became a cricketer... and a left-hander... The docu-feature will be peppered with such small but interesting things. Like an incident in that famous England tour in 1996 when Ganguly made debut Test century. Ganguly was very hurt when the then skipper Mohammed Azharuddin jokingly asked the left hander: 'Have you done your shopping in England?" said Ghosal.

To be released in English and Bengali, the film will have small interviews of Azharuddin, Rahul Dravid, Harbhajan Singh and Arjuna Ranatunga, among others, sharing their experiences with Ganguly.

"Sachin Tendulkar and Steve Waugh have already given their consent for the small interviews. We are just working out on their suitable timings. We are also thinking of approaching Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee during their tour beginning October.

"We have already shot a few during the Sri Lanka tour. Now we are looking for some old footages of Ganguly...may be the Ranji days," Ghosal added. The film will tentatively be released in December this year.
