Ajay Devgn has been approached to play Lalit Modi in a biopic being produced by Percept Ltd and directed by Shamim Desai. However, the actor has reservations about the controversial nature of the character. Irrfan Khan is the other choice for the multi-dimensional part.

Kaun banega...
Right now, it's a toss-up between Ajay Devgn and Irrfan Khan for the part of the former IPL commissioner.

Percept Ltd has approached both Devgn and Khan. While Devgn has earlier played biographical characters in Mahesh Bhatt's Zakhm, Ram Gopal Varma's Company and Raj Santoshi's The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, he is reluctant to play Modi, Irrfan apparently would like to work his dates around the project.

Says Shailendra Singh, "We haven't zeroed in on the cast. But I am not denying the names you've mentioned. We are looking at an actor who can ACT, who looks like Modi and is familiar with the biopic format." On all three counts, both Devgn and Irrfan fit the bill.
