Why did Ajith film GBU Producer need a Loan ? / Pa Ranjith to do biopic on First Dalit cricketeer


 

Mythri Movie Makers took a Rs 65 crore loan from Zee for release of Sunny Deol Jaat. They are also the makers of  Ajith’s Good Bad and Ugly in Tamil. The news that Sunny Deol had mediated the loan from Zee comes as a shock and they are the producers of Blockbuster Pushpa two franchises. GBU has collected Rs 73 crores so far and Day 1 collection of Rs 28 crores is a record but Day 2 was a shocker with Rs 14 cr and rise to Rs 19 crore on Day 3. Sunday collection is at Rs 9 cr by Sacnik, Monday too is a public holiday.


Pa Ranjith is in talks with author Ramchandra Guha to direct a biopic on Palwankar Baloo , first Player from Dailt  caste to don the Indian jersey for cricket National team.

 Several notable Dalit cricketers have played for India, including Palwankar Baloo, Vinod Kambli, and T. Natarajan. Palwankar Baloo, a left-arm spin bowler, is often cited as the first Dalit cricketer to represent India. Vinod Kambli, known for his talent and partnership with Sachin Tendulkar, also played for the national team. More recently, T. Natarajan has made his mark on the Indian cricket scene. Born in 1876, Baloo was a left-arm spin bowler who faced social ostracism due to his Dalit identity but still achieved international recognition. He is often considered India's first Dalit cricketer, according to The Mooknayak English and Hindustan Times

Year back, there was an announcement that Ajay Devgn is acting in a biopic of Baloo. This too was said to be based on Guha’s book. Priti Sinha, daughter of Andaz Apna Apna's producer Vijay Sinha, announced this development on her Twitter. In the tweet, she confirmed, "Ajay Devgn, Tigmanshu Dhulia, and Priti Sinha have teamed up to produce a film based on Ramachandra Guha's book 'A Corner Of A Foreign Field'. The book tells the remarkable story of cricketer Palwankar Baloo and his brothers." The director, cast, and crew for the film are yet to be finalized.

Ranjith had early planned to do a biopic on Munda but it did not move further.
