We didn’t want to make movie which makes me hero: MS Dhoni

Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s life has been captured on the silver screen in his upcoming film ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’.

At the launch of the trailer, Dhoni said he did not want to make a hero out of himself or glamourise him on screen.

When asked Dhoni is he worried of nervous about this film he said: “I am not worried at all as I have confidence in the crew. Right from the start we were in the same page. I have seen his (Neeraj Pandey) films and I like how he puts things on screen. We were clear right from the beginning we do not want to make a movie which makes me a hero or glamorises me.”

“It was more about the journey so that people can relate to it. At the end of the day when you reach the goal it’s the small decisions that you take has the impact what happens inbetween that is what pushes me transforms me to what I am today. The movie is more about the journey and it shows what all happened with me. It’s a bit awkward to watch your own movie. At the same time I felt I was not the one who was very nervous it was Sushant,” he added.

Dhoni, has co-produced the biopic, which stars Sushant Singh Rajput in the titular role.

Further, revealing more about the film he said: “People can easily relate to it and cricket is the part of the movie. The movie is more about human emotions so its not only cricket. Neeraj is one of the best directors I feel he projects the film and sticks to the theme.”

Dhoni who launched the trailer of his biopic film “MS Dhoni: The Untold Story” on Wednesday witnessed a packed hall filled with his fans who were cheering and whistling for him.

The cricketer also appologised the crowd for the delay.

He said, “Sorry to keep you guys waiting as far as the promotion of the movie is concerned we have been to Jalandar, Delhi and now here in Mumbai. The kind of response we have got so far is fantastic I think we have got good reception so far. A lot of things get delayed because of weather as far as the promotion is concerned I am happy that I am part of it as I have the time.”

“MS Dhoni: The Untold Story” also stars Anupam Kher, Bhumika Chawla, Rajesh Sharma and Kiara Advani. It is set to release on September 30.

    Trust me….

  • Will this film also show how he fixed half of the matches he played as captain and how he destroyed careers of Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer, Yuvraj, Bhajji?

  • @Pretty boy The graphics vfx was the greatest in human history.
    It looked as if people from Mohenjodaro 5000 years ago had created those vfx.
    Hats off to Aashutosh for his genius!

  • No post on its YouTube achievement? As it’s trailer has become fastest trailer to cross 1 lakh likes beating shivay?

  • What about Tiger Zinda Hai,releasing eid 2018,directed by ali abbas jaffer ?? Its treanding on twitter yesterday

  • Even after watching the trailer I still feel Sushant singh is miscast as Dhoni.. His body language and the shots( like the inside out over extra cover) are not same as of Dhoni’s.. Only Dhoni could have played As Ms Dhoni…

  • @ Indicine
    Has Dhoni Co-Produced his Biopic ??
    There were rumours he is asking for 80 crore
    Which is True ?? Has he co-produced or he is taking 80 crore as a royalty ??

  • @Dhoni thank yuvi because of whom you won 2 world cup, who is the sole reason why you are the superstar today but it’s India we will never respect the real superstar who gave 4 world cup to India 1u15, 1u19, t20 world cup & 2011 world cup the guy who took pain keeler to be able to play in the world cup who scored century while he was vomiting blood. No movie on the real hero!!!!!!

  • I hope Dhoni isnt shown as a typical hero but a character with grey shades in the movie as they r showing real person.

  • Eagerly waiting .
    Bring it on
    i dont understand why someone hates him , even you hate him but why to speak against him ,one must respect him as a person ,his life is so inspiring ,to ticket collector from trophies collector came from small town . Why haters get jealous and compare him with kapil dev ,sachin, ganguly ,yuvraj etc ..
    I want to say just respect them all no need to be jealous and appreciate his hardwork . Even haters know the trailer is brillant but dont want to accept it .its only a movie dude so no need to burn.
