On Monday, Netflix unveiled a new teaser video of ‘Khakee: The Bengal Chapter’, with the title, ‘Sourav Ganguly’s EPIC DEBUT as an Actor???”
“The Bengal Tiger meets the Bengal Chapter,” read the caption with the two-minute-long video, which sees the legendary cricketer and former skipper of the Indian cricket team, showcase his acting chops, in the role of an ‘honest and aggressive’ police officer.
As he begins to shoot for his acting debut, Ganguly is tasked to unleash his aggressive side for the scene, when he revisits his infamous rivalry with Australian cricketer Greg Chappell, who was assigned as the Indian national team’s coach from 2005 to 2007.
However, when asked to summarize his multiple action scenes, including thrashing criminals, within 8 seconds, Ganguly seemingly gave up his desire to act and agreed to take up the promotional duties for ‘Khakee: The Bengal Chapter’ instead.
