18 martyrs deserve a biopic more than any cricketer: Gautam Gambhir

Indian Cricketer Gautam Gambhir has taken a dig at the biopic that has been made on his World Cup winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The cricketer who shared an excellent partnership with Dhoni and scored a match-winning 97 runs in the World Cup final, also said that the 17 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, are more deserving of a biopic on their lives than any cricketer.

“These 17 martyrs deserve a biopic rather than any cricketer. No better inspiration than a young man sacrificing his life for his country. And these Jawans sacrifice their lives for paltry salaries and not disproportionate money & adulation reserved for us cricketers. Wake up”

Gautam had earlier stoked a controversy when he said “I don’t believe in biopics on cricketers. I think those people who have contributed more to the country than the cricketers deserve a biopic,” Gambhir wrote on Twitter.

“There are lots of people in the country who have done so many noble deeds for the nation. Therefore, biopics should be made on their lives”

Earlier today, Gautam added that he wasn’t talking about any one cricketer.

“My detractors got it wrong. Am not against ANY ONE cricketer’s biopic, am against the very concept which includes a biopic on my life.”

‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ starring Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead is scheduled to release in theatres on September 30.

  • Don’t worry; no biopic will be Made On Your life ,you Can Never Reach That Level . This guy Is More Passionate About IPL Than Indian Cricket..!

  • It’s shameful that a FORMER Indian international player like Gambhir is misusing our soldiers’ sacrifice for satisfaction of their ego. How can he fall at such low levels to satisfy his personal grudges. Everybody had seen him not shaking hands with MSD after domestic match. Everybody has seen him fight with Virat. No doubt, his career is going nowhere.
    Shame on Gambhir for politicizing death of our great soldiers.
    And from border to baby, we have made movies on our army and we will keep on making such great movies. That doesn’t mean we won’t make other type of movies.

  • Can’t agree more.. We give way too much importance to movie stars ,cricketers,musicians like “Honey Singh” and uneducated politicians who dont deserve all this but not real heroes viz a viz Army and Farmers… Its us who are culprit…

  • respect neeraj pandey,but the film will flop.

    dhoni is the reason for many cricketers career ending including Sehwag, Gambhir, Pathan brothers etc. So I hate dhoni

  • Well said dhoni is just an ordinRy cricketer with very limited skills and biopic on him is it really a big deal to be indian player when you have backing of your parents neither he is good keeprr nor he is good test player what is inspiring about him is the amount of wealth he has made and how arrogantly he murdered career of yuvraj while below average raina was hanging there for 5-6 years same with bhajji truth is he is polite but arrogant I understand cricket I bet you let players retire bhajji zaheer yuvraj Manish Landry gambhir will have lot to talk about this self claimed legend while he is struggling in odi’s for three years struggles always in test always played defensively look at kohli winning with same team look how motivated he looks while dhoni looks

    Typical binary jharkhandia babu style captain win mostly games backed by good team be it kohli winning matches for 4 years to before kohli era gambir veeru or yuvi what are dhoni’s achievments nothing.. . At least nothing sort of legend just a average to good player who plays spin well…..but over all boring

  • @bollyboy Are you dumb? Is he insulting or saying anything negative about the 17 soldiers who died for our country?
    He is absolutely correct.
    Each of those 17 soldiers deserves more respect than Dhoni.

  • @Bakshi you fool He is the best wK a present nobody is as fast as him.Idiot! When he led India,we reached t the top of test rankings.Virat has not yet led India in any of the away series against strong opponent.He’s great legend!.@Sunny he is on a much better level than you and he’s more passionate about Indian Cricket Team you fool.@Bollyboy you have seen him fight with virat so it was his fault.No it was Virat’s fault.And btw you idiot go and watch Pune vs Kolkata how dhoni and Gautam interacted look at that.

  • Although I am a Kohli fan,I also like Gauti much.

    But at times he talks so idiotic.

    The constant ignorance from the selectors have peaked his frustration to a high level.

    I want him back in the team,but he is not good for team’s harmony.

    Get well soon Gauti.

  • Indian cricket is successful and domanting after retring big names only reason is Dhoni otherwise Indian cricket team struggling like pakistan, most successful captain in indian cricket history #respect

  • yes our martyrs deserve our salute.. they are the biggest heroes there will ever be.. but its shameful n disgusting to see gambhir using the names of martyrs to show his personal jealousy n enmity with dhoni.. grow up u cheap fellow.. dhoni is a legend n u a self obsessed, egoistic n downright cheap person.. a person who doesnt have a respect to the game n lacks sportsman’s spirit n as well as cricketing skills.. a pathetic batsman, a pathetic sportsperson n even worse human being.. SHAME!!! glad that the indian cricket team got rid of losers like u..

  • GG is a sour loser, he can never be part of Indian Team for his rude attitude. Keep playing IPL !!!!!

    #MSD Biopic

    #Mahi

  • @bakshi very good ,the man who was the reason for india wins like t20,worldcup,championstrophy, and lot more contribution towards india win that too coming from a small town may be nothing for you but his life and importance towards cricket will never forget ,got it now get lost.

  • I am eager to see whether “MS DHONI THE UNTOLD STORY” will say the real story of how Yuvraj and Gambhir won us the world cup… If Gambhir was not there, India would not have won the world cup.. But all Indians forgot his Brilliant 97.

  • ur are the real hero of 2007 and 2011 world cup.. but u dont get what u deserve . dhoni not deserve the boipic film on him.

  • Nothing against gambhir i really like him.. Yes this soldiars needa biopic.. But pointing cricketr biopic is obviosly he is targeting dhoni.. Evry one who is contributing for pride of the nation should get value as well.. Dhoni also done that and from promo i can see that it is not just about cricket fame they shows his hard work also that will inspire youngsters.. To achieve anything need ample of hardwork.. And yes the biopic should be made on soldiars also that agree with gambhir.. Just persnal opinion.

  • What kind of man he is? He is just satisfying his ego on the name of The Soldiers who sacrified their life’s for country….shame on u gambhir..

  • @boi
    You didn’t understand my point. The army man are the most respected people of the nation and they are the greatest kinds of human being who are ready to sacrifice their life for nation. What I want to say that there is no relation between the movie and this horrible attack. They are not even remotely related. But Gambhir is using their sacrifice as an excuse to bash Dhoni. This is shameful.
    Gambhir is disrespecting the soldiers by doing this cheap stunt.
    Why is he relating a terrorist attack with a movie. There is no logic.
    It’s not about Dhoni or Sachin or Azhar. It’s about Gambhir using soldier’s names to satisfy his grudges.
    And people in army are the most respected people.

  • This is the bitter truth…Bollywood me Biopics ki lat lag gayi hai…har kisike upar Bipic bana ke 100 crores kama rahe hai…and That Brave Poor soldiers are sacrificing their lives for Country with so low salary compared to that!! what a Shame to al of Us…..
    and those who r mocking Gambhir(i am also not His Fan);i would say to them that without Gambhir’s tremendous innings; India could not win neither T20 nor 2011 One Day WC;never!! so without Him & Yuvi How Neeraj Sir will glorify Dhoni-Untold Story i dnt know!!lol
