Well, the cricketer had mentioned Siddhant Chaturvedi’s name. In a candid conversation, Yuvraj was asked which actor was he keen on seeing playing his role in the biopic. He wittily said, “Probably, I’d play myself — that would be a bit desperate… hai na?” and then added, “See, that’s the director’s job to decide. If it’s going to be a Bollywood film, then Siddhant Chaturvedi is a good option; I’d love to see him in the film.”
