18 Aug 2015

After her Bollywood debut in Fugly and many fashion shows, Kiara Advani has been signed for her second film and this time, she is all set to play a real life character. Kiara has been roped in to play Sakshi, wife of Indian cricket team captain, M S Dhoni, in the upcoming biopic on the cricketer.

While there have been speculations about many actresses being considered for the role including Parineeti Chopra, apparently, the makers have decided to go ahead with Kiara. The actress will be paired opposite Sushant Singh Rajput who is playing the titular character. It is being said that the makers were hunting for a fairly new actress for the role, especially someone who hasn't done many films in the industry. We hear that Kiara Advani, who debuted with Fugly, has already started preparing for the role.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, Inspired Entertainment, Adarsh Telemedia and Rhiti Sports Management, M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Biopic is directed by Neeraj Pandey and is slated to go on floor by the end of this month.
