The official theatrical trailer of Neeraj Pandey’s biopic of Indian cricket team captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, titled ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ has been released and it is full of goosebump moments.A lot is known about the career of Dhoni so the film doesn’t explore his accomplishments on cricket field but brings the part of his life when he had to struggle hard against parental pressure and corrupt politics in selection of players to get into the Indian cricket team and become the internationally renowned player that we all love today.
Sushant Singh Rajput looks to have worked hard to get into the skin of the character. The trailer shows how Sushant worked on his physique to look like a teenager, how he modulated his body language, stance and dialect to be seen exactly like the Indian team captain. The last shot in the trailer where Sushant, just like Dhoni, hits six to lift the 2011 world cup is a moment to die for.
Dhoni’s romantic relationship with Sakshi, essayed by Kiara Advani, was also shown in bits. Bhoomika Chawla and Anupam Kher play key roles. MS Dhoni: The Untold Story will release on September 30, 2016 amidst euphoric expectations.
