Kiara Advani, who debuted in this industry with Akshay Kumar's home production Fugly, is now gearing up for the release of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.
The actress, who essays the character of Shakshi Dhoni in the film, revealed that working under the direction of Neeraj Pandey was surreal and this film will command terrific repeat audience. She said,
"I have been a fan of Neeraj Pandey's work since A Wedneday. Being directed by him just in my second film is surreal for me. The story that we are telling is something that will surely go down in the history of Indian cinema. This is a film which someone will pick up after ages and will still enjoy watching."
The actress further confessed that she was never a big Dhoni fan, however she was awestruck by the Indian captain's personality after their first meet.
"I was not a Dhoni fan initially but after meeting him for the first time, I was just awestruck. I became a fan of his personality and the person that he is in real life. I just think despite being a star, he is so grounded, which is one of his best qualities," said Kiara.
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story releases on 30 September, 2016.
