With Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni's upcoming biopic scheduled to hit the theatres next year, actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been cast to play the role of the man from Ranchi.While the lead role has been taken, we speculate on the possible celebrities who could have a role in this biopic.Heres a look at the actors who should feature in different roles in MS Dhonis upcoming biopic.
#10 Duncan Fletcher - Kader Khan
At first, it looks a weird choice, with a talented actor like Kader Khan wasted in a role which apparently means keeping a straight face 24/7, but what happens inside the dressing room may be where Kader Khan’s real talent is properly utilised.
#9 Sakshi Dhoni - Parineeti Chopra
Dhoni’s love interest in the movie, Parineeti Chopra can form a brilliant chemistry with Sushant Singh Rajput on screen.
#8 Zaheer Khan - Arjun Kapoor
Despite a clear difference in age, if Sushant Rajput can carry off the role of MS Dhoni, Arjun Kapoor can be the right choice to play the man who was led Dhoni and India’s depleted bowling attack to world glory.
#7 Virender Sehwag - Akshay Khanna
Surely, it may require putting on some weight, but Akshay Khanna can be a fine choice to play Virender Sehwag during his latter days under the captaincy of Dhoni.
#6 Ravindra Jadeja - Ranveer Singh
The role of the Gujarati all-rounder who despite the overwhelming criticism against him, emerged as a true match-winner, backed by Dhoni all the way – Ranveer Singh can totally pull it off!
#5 Virat Kohli - Varun Dhawan
The boys from Delhi recently got together as co-owner and brand ambassador of ISL club FC Goa. The mannerisms wouldn’t be too difficult to copy for Dhawan.
#4 Yuvraj Singh - John Abraham
Yuvraj formed a lethal partnership with Dhoni for India in the middle and the two have shared many memorable moments on the field. John Abraham, a close friend of Dhoni and having experience of working in a sports film before, can be a fine choice for the role.
#3 Joginder Sharma - Rajpal Yadav
Dhoni’s most famous gamble so far... and the most surprising hero for India in World T20 final. Someone like Rajpal Yadav can really make Joginder’s character on screen truly memorable.
#2 Ishant Sharma - Zayed Khan
You have to be living under a rock to not know how eerily similar the two look. And surely, if Zayed’s previous performances are anything go by, he’ll pull off Ishant’s role to perfection.
#1 N Srinivasan - Prakash Raj
The big *cough* villain *cough* in the story, with a boss fight at the end? Now who else can portray it better than the versatile Prakash Raj?
