Talks about Ravi Dubey being cast in the biopic of entrepreneur Ashneer Grover are in final stages. The actor, who can do it on TV and OTT platforms in many capacities, will fill the shoes of BharatPe co-founder who has been to jail and has faced controversies in his career.
Shraddha Kapoor has been asked to play Ashneer’s wife Madhuri Jain Grover. There are reports that Shraddha has demanded ₹20 crore for the role (if finalized), which makes up one of the rare occasions in Bollywood that the heroine earns more than the hero. This has raised some debate in the Bollywood industry about the changing nature of remuneration and the rise of female stars becoming more and more prominent in Bollywood.
The film aims to chronicle Ashneer Grover’s rise and fall from his days on Shark Tank India to a household name. His loud voice, business acumen, and subsequent controversies have made him a perfect character for a movie adaptation. With Ravi Dubey as lead actor, the project will blend realism and entertainment in a single film, offering a look at what it is like to be a part of one of India’s most talked-about entrepreneurs.
Shraddha Kapoor’s addition adds a lot of star power to the movie. She is going to play Madhuri Jain, someone who was very important to Grover’s career and personal life. Industry veterans believe Shraddha’s demand for ₹20 crore is both on the basis of her market value and the importance of the character in the plot.
In fact, earlier reports had suggested that Aamir Khan might be working on this project, but those have now been proven to be false. We intend to finalize the cast soon, and an official announcement will be made shortly.
At this point in time, the Ashneer Grover biopic is very much one of the most intriguing Bollywood movies. With Ravi Dubey going to be the star and Shraddha Kapoor negotiating a record fee, not only is it an interesting project so far, but we will also see how it will reflect the ever-evolving culture and the changes in Bollywood. Both fans and critics are waiting for the official confirmation, and we look forward to one of the most talked-about movies of this year.
