Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a name that will always be taken with pride and respect, ‘captain cool’ of India, is not just a cricketer, but a superstar as we consider him our hero, our idol and someone we look up to.
He has influenced many cricketing careers and is still an inspiration to many youngsters not only in India but around the world and now we have some great news for all his admirers. Any guesses?
Well, it’s not related to cricket at all! And the big news is that Dhoni is planning to enter Bollywood industry. Yes, you read it right!
On the other hand, he won’t be acting in a movie but might soon become a producer for making the biopic of legendary hockey player, Dhyan Chand. The legendary sportsman is known to have scored more than 400 goals during his international career.
We all know Biopics playing a crucial role in upbringing the life stories of the real heroes. The journey started a long back, but took its pace from Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Bhaag Milka Bhaag’, Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Mary Kom’, Sushant Singh Rajput’s ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, Sonam Kapoor’s ‘Neerja’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’.
Every movie successfully left its impression on stereotypic audience taking the dignity of the Indian films to the whole new level.
So, taking this as a reason for uplifting the true story of a legendary sportsperson, Dhoni has purchased the rights for making a movie on Dhyan Chand.
Here’s what Deccan Chronicle reported,
“Cricketer M.S. Dhoni has acquired the rights to the film and might produce it. It is still not clear whether Karan will be co-producing the film, but Rohit is very much directing the film with Varun.”
Dhoni is presently playing in IPL and it is said that he soon may collaborate with Bollywood producer-director Karan Johar who, last year, made an announcement regarding making a movie on the same subject.
It has also been reported that Badrinath of Bollywood, Varun Dhawan, has now shown interest in playing the lead role after refusing it initially.
Well, however, this is MS Dhoni’s new step in the entertainment world post being after his biopic last year – MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, sounds really interesting.
We really feel that biopic on Major Dhyan Chand should have been made much earlier! What do you say? Share your views in the comments section below.
