Former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who entered the entertainment industry as a producer last year, will next be backing a mythological science fiction web series. Dhoni Entertainment, the media company founded by the World Cup-winning captain in 2019 produced their debut project the docu series Roar of the Lion.

Directed by Kabir Khan, Roar of the Lion documented the comeback of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the Chennai franchise of the cash rich Indian Premier League, under the captaincy of
MSD, following a two-year ban for spot-fixing. The production house will now produce a series which is an adaptation of an unpublished book.


Sakshi Dhoni, who is the managing director of the production house, dubbed the forthcoming series is a ‘thrilling adventure’. “The book is a mythological sci-fi which explores the journey of a mysterious Aghori who has been captured at a high-tech facility. The secrets revealed by this Aghori could alter the myths of the ancient, beliefs of the existing and course of the forthcoming.

“We would like to ensure that we execute all the aspects of this universe and bring out every character and story to the screen, with as much precision as possible. Web series fit our purpose better than adapting it into a feature film,” she said.

The makers of the web-series are in the process of finalizing the cast and location for the series.
