‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, starring late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, is all set to re-release in India on May 12 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. The Neeraj Pandey directorial is a biopic on one of the most celebrated cricketers in our country, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The film was first released in 2016 and became one of the biggest hits of the year.
‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has not only been an incredibly special film for Star Studios, but also for Indians all over the world, showcasing the inspiring journey of our most successful cricket captain. The re-release aims to give his fans across the country another chance to relive cricket's most magical moments on the big screen,’ said Bikram Duggal, Head - Studios, Disney Star.
In an earlier press conference, Dhoni had revealed how he had once lost his cool at Sushant, who was preparing for the film at that time.
‘He (Sushant) used to ask one question repeatedly and if he gets a similar answer then he used to believe that I am being honest and then he used to go to the next question." He also said, "It was a bit awkward initially to speak about yourself. After 15 mins you get bored talking about yourself and I was like I need a break, I am going,’ Dhoni had said.
‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ was one of the biggest hits of Sushant's career. He received several nominations in the Best Actor category at that year's awards ceremonies for his performance in the film. Besides Sushant, the film also starred Kiara Advani, Disha Patani, Anupam Kher, and Bhumika Chawla in important roles.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai apartment on June 14, 2020.
