Filming for Palwankar Baloo biopic, starring Ajay Devgn, is expected to start by the end of 2023.
Actor Ajay Devgn is set to star in a film about India’s first Dalit cricketer, Palwankar Baloo, after his role in Maidaan. Film producer Priti Sinha announced this on X on May 29. Filming for the biopic is expected to start by the end of 2023. The movie is based on historian Ramchandra Guha’s book ‘A Corner Of A Foreign Field’. Palwankar Baloo, from the Dalit community, began as a groundsman in Pune and later played for the Hindu Gymkhana in 1896. Guha’s book explores the discrimination he faced in his career. Tigmanshu Dhulia will direct it.
