The makers of the biopic are yet to make a formal announcement. The title and cast of the film haven’t been announced yet.

Commenting on Taran Adarsh’s tweet, netizens suggested names of actors who they feel are best suited to portray Viswanathan Anand on screen.

“@juniorbachchan shoud do it, he also looks like Vishy,” commented a user suggesting Abhishek Bachchan’s name to play the Chess grandmaster.

A user suggested “Scam 1992″ actor Pratik Gandhi’s name for Anand’s role.

Another user felt actor Gulshan Devaiah would be perfect for the role.

Anand L Rai will also be producing the project along with Mahaveer Jain’s Sundial Entertainment. Rai is currently shooting for Atrangi Re in Delhi with Dhanush, Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan.

The five-time world champion celebrated his 51st birthday on December 11. “Thanks everyone for your wishes. Had a quiet day with my family. Of course it included a chocolate cake (made by Aruna and Akhil),” Anand tweeted from his official Twitter account on Friday

Akshay captioned the photo, “This Deepawali, let us endeavor to keep alive the ideals of Ram in the consciousness of all Bharatiyas by building a bridge (setu) that will connect generations to come. Taking this mammoth task ahead, here is our humble attempt – RAM SETU ! Wishing you & yours a very Happy Deepawali!”.

Akshay’s upcoming films also include Sooryavanshi, Bell Bottom and Atrangi Re.

His latest release Laxmii got the poorest response from the audience and an average vote of 2.4/10 with more than 12,000 1-star ratings on IMDB. The film is now one of Akshay Kumar’s career’s most hated films.
