No mention about Uthappa in the movie

The couple’s love story was portrayed in Dhoni’s biopic, ‘MS Dhoni- The Untold Story’ which was released a few years ago, where it was shown that Dhoni and Sakshi met at a hotel but there was no reference of Uthappa in the movie.

As it is shown in the film, the couple were school friends and incidentally met at Taj Bengal where Sakshi was an intern and met the Indian captain, who was her childhood friend in the internship. They were introduced to each other by Dhoni’s Manager, Yudhajit Dutta as they were meeting after a gap of nearly 10 years in the City of Joy.

The swashbuckling wicket-keeper batsman, was in the city as the team was going to play an ODI against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in November- December 2007.
