MS Dhoni biopic in Marati version faces opposition from MNS film wing

Sushant Singh Rajput’s MS Dhoni: The Untold Story is one of the most awaited movies in the Bollywood this year. The trailer of the movie released two weeks back has created a lot of buzz, all around the country and the fans are eagerly waiting for the movie to be released.

The film covers not just Dhoni’s successes but the entire cricketing journey. The film is coming out before his retirement, which makes it that much more interesting. The trailer was an instant success on YouTube with 6 million-plus views in less than 24 hours.

The producers of the movie had also decided to dub the film in different languages and the Tamil and Telugu versions of the trailer have already been released. However, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s film affairs wing Chitrapat Karmachari Sena (CKS) have allegedly objected to the makers’ idea of dubbing the film in Marathi.

The CKS feels that the dubbing in Marathi will lead to unfair competition for the regional films. According to reports, Amey Khopkar, chief of CKS, has said that “the release of a dubbed version will give rise to a scenario where more filmmakers will release Hindi films dubbed in Marathi, affecting the market for regional films,” he said.
