A US-based firm is all set to produce a documentary on Yuvraj Singh’s life. The documentary, to be produced by Los Angeles based ‘Apex Entertainment’. The film will trace Yuvraj’s cricketing career besides his battle with cancer. Fans had been looking for their favorite cricketer’s movie but didn’t go longer. Now, this film is especially for his exceptional contribution in 2007 World T20 and 2011 ODI World Cup.

As we all know that biopics are being made on cricketers Mohammad Azharuddin (Azhar) and MS Dhoni (Dhoni: The Untold Story) and scheduled for release in May and September respectively. The films are almost in final stages of shooting. Cricket fans across the country were looking forward to a film based on Yuvraj, who was the top performer in both the World Cup tournaments.

Mark Ciardi, President, and Co-founder Apex Entertainment has confirmed that the company has indeed bagged the rights to produce Yuvi’s documentary. The movie will be shot in India and the movie is slated to be released in 2017. Apex Entertainment has produced premier sports-based movies like ‘The Rookie’ (2002), ‘Miracle’ (2004), ‘Invincible’ (2006), ‘Secretariat’ (2010), ‘Big Shot’ (2012), ‘Gigante’ (2013), ‘Million Dollar Arm’ (2014).

“I have always believed in our company’s philosophy of bringing inspirational stories from the world to you characters who overcome adversity, stories that inspire minds. Yuvraj’s story is not just a cricket story, it’s a human interest story. He is an inspiration to a billion Indians and cricket fans globally, the way he faced odds in his life and career, the way he survived cancer and the way he fought back to earn his place in the Indian team. His story is worth telling and that’s why we are extremely thrilled to have got this chance,” Ciardi told.

“The USA has a sizeable Indian population who follow cricket. A superstar like Yuvraj Singh is widely followed especially after he came to the US for cancer treatment. It was one of our common friends Ash Vasudevan (Apex co-founder) who helped us connect with Yuvraj last year where he told us that he quite liked ‘Invincible’ and ‘Miracle’ which were produced by us and he would like a film made on his life as well. I am happy that he gave us the rights and we would do our best to not disappoint him,” Ciardi added.

Ciardi, who was the brain behind movies like the ‘Invincible’, ‘Secretariat’ and ‘Million Dollar Arm’ and Emmy Award winning series ‘ESPN 30 for 30’, feels the rise in popularity of Twenty20 cricket also prompted his firm to make the move.
