MS Dhoni biopic movie poster released

Just a few days before the Indians square off against the rest of the world in a bid to retain their T20 crown, the movie poster of MS Dhoni’s biopic has been released. MS Dhoni also now acquires yet another unique distinction of the first Indian cricketer to have a biopic made.

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story is a Bollywood film that is directed by Neeraj Pandy. Sushant Singh Rajput plays the role of the charismatic Indian skipper while Kiara Advani plays the role of his wife Sakshi. Herry Tangri has also been cast into the role of Yuvraj Singh. The film is set to be released on the 2^nd of September later this year.

Two movie posters have been released thus far. The first poster released on twitter shows a young yet determined MS Dhoni about to board a train at Ranchi. The second one depicts the iconic no.7 jersey on the back of MS Dhoni as he walks out to bat.

Although an official trailer is yet to be released, a pre-marketing video is live on social media. The clip covers Dhoni’s successes all over his career. It is ironic as the biopic is releasing much earlier than MS Dhoni’s retirement. Anupam Kher and Disha Patani also make cameo appearances in the movie. Fox Star Studios serves as the primary producer of the film.

MS Dhoni’s focus however, will be on the upcoming World T20. Having been drawn as favorites at the start, the Indian skipper will be hoping to seize the opportunity while playing in conditions conducive to their style of play.

A tweet from Sushant Rajput sums it up perfectly
