Biopics are the latest fad in Bollywood and following this trend, a film on the life of the legendary hockey player Dhyan Singh was announced last year by Karan Johar.
Rohit Vaid, whose debut directorial Mahayoddha Rama won the Best Animation film at the recent 64th National Film Awards, was touted to be the director of the Dhyan Singh biopic. Varun Dhawan who initially turned down the offer is said to be doing the lead role in the film.
Now, an interesting development has arisen on this project. Popular cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni has apparently acquired the rights of the film and if reports are to be believed, he would be bankrolling this venture. This sure is an interesting assignment for this much-loved sportsman. Stay tuned and we will update you.
