MS Dhoni: The Untold Story is 95% real. Films like this win Oscars, says producer Arun Pandey

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has already created waves with its splendid trailer. The audience has given a thumbs up to the film which focuses on the life of Indian skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Featuring Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead, the Neeraj Pandey directorial is being produced by Arun Pandey who is Dhoni's business partner and a close friend since childhood.

Talking to Catch, Arun revealed why he wanted to make a biopic on his best friend. He said:

"It's a story that needs to be told. Mahi (MS Dhoni) is a hero and inspires the youth. India has currently the maximum number of youth population in the world and there could not be a better time to come out with a biopic on him."

But, why didn't he consider anybody else to produce the film? Arun replied:

"Because nobody else came on board. Koi ata toh de dete film banane ko. We thought when we had the concept and money, why not make it ourselves? took long to convince Mahi about the film and then finding a perfect director was the task. When I got to know that Neeraj Pandey is the one who directed A Wednesday, I instantly wanted him to direct Mahi's biopic."
