Here's MS Dhoni director Neeraj Pandey's response to Gautam Gambhir's remark on biopics

These 17 martyrs deserv a biopic rather dan any cricketer. No better inspiration dan a young man sacrificing his life 4 his country.

And these Jawans sacrifice their lives for paltry salaries n not disproportionate money & adulation reserved for us cricketers. Wake up.

My detractors got it wrong. Am not against ANY ONE cricketer's biopic, am against d very concept which includes a biopic on my life.

Neeraj Pandey, the director of the MS Dhoni: An Untold Story, was asked to respond to Gambhir's comments at the launch of a song from the upcoming biopic.

"I've made films on both. We make stories. It's not that every film should be of a particular genre or anything like that. I think as storytellers we need to talk about everything."

"This story is about the hero in us. It's a very motivational inspiring story. That can come from anyone. And MS (Dhoni) is a serving Lt Colonel in the Indian Army. So that should answer your questions," the Indian Express quoted Pandey as saying.

The biopic is set to release on 30 September.
