Sushant Singh Rajput Sushant visits Keenan Stadium to prep for Dhoni biopic

Jamshedpur: Director Neeraj Pandey and actor Sushant Singh Rajput on Friday visited Keenan Stadium, where team India captain MS Dhoni spent his cricketing days representing Jharkhand state team, for the player's biopic. Pandey, who was with his team, inspected the ground and dressing room at Keenan Stadium as well as adjoining JRD Sports Complex where Dhoni stayed during his playing days.

The director also visited hotel Virat, where Dhoni stayed during his playing days during their half-an-hour stay in the steel city, said Rajesh Verma, secretary of Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA).

Jharkhand state team coaches Milan Dutta, Subrato Das and Kajal Das were present as they had one time coached Dhoni when he played at the U-16, U-19 and Ranji representing Bihar and Jharkhand.

Verma said tentatively, the shooting of the biopic will start from October.

Later, the team proceeded to Kharagpur, where Dhoni had worked in the railways.

Verma said Rajput, who will be playing the role of Dhoni, has even grown his hair to match like Dhoni's long hair, which earned a praise from former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf.
