Many in the cricket industry wondered whether Dhoni is indeed asking for a lot on his platter than what he can comfortably digest when the news of his acting in a film produced by Dino Morea broke out.

But before a worry could be escalated out of this surprise, Dhoni’s manager confirmed that the Indian captain has no plans to acting in film.

Dhoni’s manager Yudhajit Dutta said, “Dhoni isn’t doing any film now. There was a communication lapse. He has only entered into an endorsement project with Dino’s company.”

On receiving the information, Dino Morea said, “My comment was misinterpreted. I signed Dhoni and Yuvraj for my merchandising company and not my production house. Since I have not spoken much about my merchandising company, I guess not too many people know about it. That’s perhaps the reason for confusion. Dhoni and Yuvraj are not doing my film.”

“Yes, we are working on a script on cricket. If it turns out well, we will start working on it. I plan to act in that film too,” he clarified.

“Worldwide, sports films do so well. There is no reason why we can’t replicate that success. Lagaan, of course, did well but it was a period film. Jannat, set in today’s times, dealt with things off the field. We are trying to make a film that’s high on the emotional content and focusses more on the game,” he added.
