Kiara Advani To Play Sakshi Dhoni In 'MS Dhoni- The Untold Story'

If reports are to be believed, then Kiara Advani, who marked her Bollywood debut with Fugly, will be seen opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in MS Dhoni- The Untold Story. Advani will be seen essaying the role of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Dhoni in the Neeraj Pandey-directed biopic.

A source close to the project confirms, "It was quite challenging to find the right casting for Sakshi as people at large have seen enough of Sakshi and the comparison is very obvious. The director always wanted a young actor in the film - not someone who has done many roles and audiences have seen enough of her to form an impression or an opinion about her. He basically wanted an actor without a baggage. Kiara's audition was just amazing. Her chemistry with Sushant during the auditions and rehearsals made her land the role. Kiara has been rehearsing non-stop to look and act the part."

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story will go on floors by the end of this month.
