Dhoni took no money to give rights for his biopic

After Milkha Singh and Mary Kom, another iconic sportsperson Mahendra Singh Dhoni is poised for a celluloid treatment.

Contrary to moronic desk-manufactured stories claiming hallucinatory sources as saying that the Dhoni picture is snagged by Dhoni's greed, the film is all set to start shooting by year-end. An official announcement about the Dhoni biopic will be made by the film's director- producer Neeraj Pandey in a fortnight.

"Everything has fallen into place. We are all set to make the film with Sushant in the lead. Reports claim that Dhoni has asked us for some staggering outrageous amount of money to shoot his life. The truth is just the opposite. Dhoni has asked us for no money to film his life," says a source close to the Dhoni project.

Interestingly, Sushant played a cricketer in his movie debut ‘Kai Po Ch’e. His sister Mitu Singh is a national-level cricketer. And Sushant would be seeking her help to play Dhoni.
