Whispers in the industry suggest that the makers of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story have zeroed in on a fresh-faced actress to play the cricketer’s late
ex-girlfriend. We hear it is model-turned-actress Disha Patani, awaiting
a Bollywood break after losing out on at least two big-ticket projects earlier this year, who has
made the cut.
Disha has been linked to Tiger Shroff and was
supposed to play his leading lady in Baaghi. The role eventually went
to Shraddha Kapoor.
A source working on the Dhoni biopic says, “The long hunt for another lead actress came to an end after Disha auditioned for it. We were looking for someone relatively new
to the industry and she fits the bill.”
Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen as the
protagonist in the Neeraj Pandey-directed film, while Kiara Advani, who debuted with Fugly last year, will essay the
character of Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi.
