The trailer of the biopic that was released last month has created a lot of buzz among all the cricket followers. Sushant was congratulated from all around the country for appearing just like Dhoni in the movie.

On few occasions, the skipper himself has praised Sushant for getting into the skin of the cricketer, as he portrayed even the minute details of MS Dhoni.

“He (Sushant) has worked very hard. He was practicing every day for more than nine months. He was batting every day for over three hours when it comes to portraying the (cricket) shots. Also, the way I walk, the way I talk, he has copied almost everything. In fact, I was amazed to see him do all these things,” Dhoni said earlier in a statement.

He also had worked a lot on his fitness as Dhoni is one of the fittest cricketers around the world. Despite being 33, younger players find is really hard to cope with his speed while running between the wickets.

Sushant took to the social media platform Twitter to wish Kiran More, who helped him play the shots in Dhoni style. “A gruelling Task. 12 months. Thank you @JockMore for your coaching, patience, and faith ? #HappyTeachersDay #dhoni,” the tweet reads. The film is set to hit the theaters on September 30.
