| ||||
Friday, 26th June 2015, 1:58 PM IST Sushant Singh Rajput starrer ‘M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’, a biopic on cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, was slated to start rolling on 25th June. But now, it will go on floors by mid-July. The movie was slated to release on Dussehra this year; however reportedly, it has been postponed to 2016. Sushant is undergoing rigorous training to look like Dhoni. From ballet to backflips, cardio to cricket, he is doing everything to be perfect in his role. As the shooting schedule of the film is pushed, the movie which was slated to release on 22nd Oct this year, will now release next year. A source close to the project says that it is not uncommon for biopics to get pushed. And when it comes to Dhoni’s biopic, Sushant had to undergo training, as well as grow his hair long and then cut it short. It took time for the makers to research and finish the scripting. "They had to decide what personal and professional details to incorporate and what to leave out. A certain decorum has to be maintained as Dhoni is still a playing captain and has not retired from the game," the source said. One of the reasons for the delay is the casting of the film. "A lot of actors have to be cast, including those who will play sports icons like Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly," the source added. When the source was asked if the cricketer’s form and the criticism Team India has been facing also reasons for the delay, the source said "No, that's not a concern. As long as Dhoni plays, he'll always give his best to Team India and will always be admired. The film will definitely come in 2016 though no date has been locked yet." Arun Pandey of Inspired Entertainment said "Yes, it is true that the shooting of the official biopic of M S Dhoni will commence in July. We are fully ready now to roll and start the journey to narrate the inspirational story of the man, the legend, M S Dhoni."
