MS Dhoni: Sushant Singh Rajput played me to perfection in biopic

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, which hit the screens on on 30 September, has garnered positive reviews from critics and viewers alike while Dhoni himself is stunned by the way Sushant Singh Rajput pulled off the role.

"Sushant is exceptional, he has totally imitated me the way I talk, the way I walk, he has copied everything, that's the beauty of it. When we talk about cricket specifically, he has practiced for 9 months, for two to two and a half hours everyday, infact now he can even participate as a cricketer, in between where there is off season for movies, he can go and play a lot of leagues," Dhoni said at an event here.

Both Sushant and Dhoni share a similar history of struggle and have made big in the city after coming from a small town.

In fact, it was Dhoni who had recommended Sushant's name to the makers in the first place.

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story also stars Anupam Kher, Bhumika Chawla, Rajesh Sharma and Kiara Advani.
