After
the
biopics
on

Dhoni
and
Sachin
Tendulkar
made
all
the
headlines
for
good,
another
Indian
cricketing
hero
is
about

get
facilitated
in
a
biopic;
rather
a

on
his
life
and
the
struggles
he
fought
and
overcame.
Yes,
he
is
none
other
than
Yuvraj
Singh
-
once
the
poster

of
Indian
Cricket,
the
heartthrob
of
young
lasses
and
the
man
who
brought
Indian
Cricket
two
World
cups.
The
documentary
will
be
filmed
and
produced
by
the
US-based

The

are
very
keen
to

Singh's
battle

all
adversities
to
regain
his
place
