Fan reveals untold story of MSD & Irfan's ‘incredible bond’

Dhoni’s full-fledged acting debut is on the cards

The 55-year-old refrained from clarifying whether The Chase is a feature film, a web series, or a promotional campaign. This has kept the fans in speculation about whether this could be Dhoni’s full-fledged acting debut. While the cricketer has been a household name for his heroics, his experience in the entertainment business has so far been limited to advertisements and a cameo appearance in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Tamil film GOAT. 

This comes after Dhoni’s recent induction into the ICC Hall of Fame, making him the 11th Indian to receive the honour. From leading India to the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy, the Ranchi-born remains the only captain to win all three ICC white-ball titles.

Meanwhile, R. Madhavan was last seen in Netflix’s Aap Jaisa Koi alongside Fatima Sana Shaikh. He is also gearing up for the big release of Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, which stars Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, and Sanjay Dutt.
