When the poster of M.S Dhoni : The Untold story was released, every one was amazed by the shocking resemblance between Dhoni and Sushant.
While the actor has worked extremely hard to get into the shoes of MS Dhoni, the recently released trailer suggested that Sushant is perfectly apt for the role.
Sushant has gone to extreme lengths to prepare for this role. The actor has had hours of cricket practice as well as watching Dhoni's style of playing. Some time ago, a video showed Sushant practising on the field and was trying to master MS Dhoni's "helicopter shot." It was seen that the actor actually hit the ball in the same fashion that the Indian skipper is famous for.
Apart from cricketing skills, the most difficult task at Sushant's hand was to emote caption cool by understanding Dhoni's mindset. What does Dhoni thinks when he is on field, how does he feel when he wins a match or loses one, how does tackle pressure, he had to understand Dhoni's temperament, for which he put in alot of hardwork.
Even Dhoni had expressed at a recent event that Sushant has worked very hard. He was practicing everyday for more than 9 months. He was batting everyday for over 3 hours, spending time in the gym so thats the reason he has done so well when it comes to portraying the shots. Infact even Dhoni was amazed, as Sushant had got Dhoni's walking style, talking, everything, on point.
To get in to the skin of the character, Sushant even practised on the same ground that Dhoni practised on.
The actor to get a feel of the role, went specially to DAV Cricket ground where the ace skipper used to practice.
Sushant's rendition of Dhoni has been receiving praises from all quarters.
The record breaking trailer has been received extremely well, creating immense anticipation for the movie.
No other trailer had received such an stupendous response in such a short time. It has set a new benchmark for trailers of other movies.
The response has been phenomenal, with some calling it the best trailer so far.
Sushant has surely hit a six!
Helmed by ace director Neeraj Pandey, produced by Arun Pandey and Fox Star studios, the film which is one of the most anticipated films of the year is all set to release on September 30th, 2016.
