Kiara Advani to play Sakshi Dhoni in MS Dhoni biopic

Neeraj Pandey’s M.S. Dhoni biopic has finally found it’s female lead in Fugly actress Kiara Advani. She has been selected for the role of Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni in the biopic opposite Sushant Singh Rajput who is depicting the role of M S Dhoni.

Sources said, “It was quite challenging to find the right girl to play Sakshi as people at large have seen her quite frequently on television and in person, so they would tend to compare. Neeraj was clear that he wanted a young actress in this biopic. He didn’t wish to cast a leading lady who has done many roles because he didn’t want the audience to have a preconceived notion or form an impression about her. He basically wanted an actor without baggage.”

Sources have further added that, “Kiara’s chemistry with Sushant during the screen test and rehearsals is what made her land the role. And now that she has bagged a big role, she is not wasting any time and has been rehearsing non-stop to look and act the part of Sakshi, a role that many heroines were vying for.”

‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ is set to go on the floors by the end of this month.
