Vijay Deverakonda stole the show as one of the numerous famous people who attended the India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup game in Dubai. He even stated that he would like to play Virat Kohli in the biography of the iconic cricketer.
When asked which cricketer’s biography he would most like to appear in before the game, the Liger actor replied that since the late Sushant Singh Rajput had already acted in MS Dhoni’s, Vijay would prefer to play Kohli.
Here are five actors who, in our opinion, would be best suited to play the former Indian cricketer’s role in Kohli’s biopic given his fame and flamboyance.
1. Vijay Deverakonda
For Virat Kohli’s biopic, Vijay Deverakonda will undoubtedly be among the front-runners. He enjoys playing cricket, has excelled in sports-themed films like Arjun Reddy and Liger, and being the same age as the former Indian captain would make him an ideal option for the part.
2. Kartik Aaryan
Kartik Aaryan, another actor who has previously stated his wish to play Virat Kohli on-screen, possesses the kind of incredible appeal that would still be a major crowd-pleaser even if the Virat Kohli aspect were to be removed.
3. Fawad Khan
In addition to Fawad Khan’s incredibly impressive acting and stunning appearance, Virat Kohli’s biopic may help Fawad reach the heights he has only dreamed of for his career.
4. Shahid Kapoor
Shahid Kapoor would naturally fit into the part of Virat Kohli because he previously played as a cricketer in Jersey. In addition to having the innate ferocity that we have all grown to admire in Kohli, his acting in Jersey was excellent.
5. Angad Bedi
Who couldn’t have enjoyed Arvind Vasisht’s portrayal by Angad Bedi in Inside Edge? Given that Angad Bedi, son of former Indian captain Bishan Singh, has a natural affinity for the sport and has played for Delhi at the juvenile levels, he is the ideal choice to portray Virat Kohli in the biopic about the cricketer.
