‘Firse Gambhir ki jalegi’ – Fans react as MS Dhoni’s biopic ‘MS Dhoni – The Untold Story’ is all set to re-release in theatres on May 12

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s biography MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, which was initially released in 2016 and was directed by Neeraj Pandey, will be exclusively rereleased in Indian theatres on May 12 in the languages of Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The late Sushant Singh Rajput played MS Dhoni in the movie, which went on to become one of the year’s biggest box-office hits.

“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.

Dhoni had previously revealed how he had lost his cool with Sushant, who was getting ready for the movie at the 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. 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 was quoted as saying at a press conference of the film years ago.

The biography ended up being one of Sushant’s biggest commercial successes, and for his work in the movie, he received multiple nominations for Best Actor at the annual award shows. On June 14, 2020, Sushant passed away. The actor was discovered dead at his flat in Mumbai. The cricket player was “shattered” by the news of Sushant’s passing, according to Neeraj Pandey.

“Apart from calling Mahi bhai, I have also called two of his best friends Mihir Diwakar and Arun Pandey. They all seemed very upset with such a terrible news. Mahi bhai was in a shock to hear the news and got shattered,” Neeraj was quoted as saying in xtratime.in.
