Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly stunned his fans with his new dramatic look in the promo of forthcoming web series Khakee: The Bengal Chapter . Acclimatized to being captain of the cricket pitch, Ganguly is set to wear an entirely different character hat in the realm of entertainment.
In the short promo out, Ganguly sports the police uniform, presenting a jarring contrast to his sporting persona.
The promo has him in an intense, gripping avatar, far removed from his charismatic, calm self on the cricket field. His authoritative presence and the promising storyline have already created huge buzz among the media and the fans.
This dramatic entry into acting has left all of us agog, and people are showing their excitement on social networking pages. "Never imagined Sourav Ganguly in a police constable's outfit, but looks serious!" posted one, as others were interested in seeing how cricket legend Sourav Ganguly goes about joining this new genre.
The web series, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter , is ready to be an action thriller, set against the backdrop of Bengal's law and order.
With Ganguly playing the role of a police officer, the show is ready to bring a new twist to the genre, blending crime and drama with a dash of real sportsmanship.
With the release date drawing near, Ganguly's fans are eagerly waiting to get an opportunity to see their idol in a completely new avatar. If he can carry his success as a sportsman over to the screen and achieve success as an actor remains to be seen, but the grapevine is that Khakee: The Bengal Chapter may be the next Indian web series phenomenon.
