After months of speculation and nail biting, we can finally confirm that Kiara Advani will play the role of Sakshi Dhoni, Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni's wife in a biopic based on him. We knew Sushant Singh Rajput would play Dhoni since a long time, but it wasn't clear who would play his wife. Earlier, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt were in the running to play the Indian cricket captain's wife. But, Kiara Advani has been finally being finalised by Neeraj Pandey.

A source close to the film reveals, "It was quite challenging to find the right girl to play Sakshi as people at large have seen her quite frequently on television and in person, so they would tend to compare. Neeraj was clear that he wanted a young actress in MS Dhoni's biopic. He didn't wish to cast a leading lady who has done many roles because he didn't want the audience to have a preconceived notion or form an impression about her. He basically wanted an actor without baggage."

So, Kiara fits in this part as she has just Fugly in her kitty and her potential has still not been seen by the audience. This movie will just provide her the opportunity to prove her mettle. One hears from other confirmed sources that Kiara's audition was just amazing and her chemistry with Sushant during the screen test and rehearsals is what made her bag the role. Of course, she is not wasting any time and has been rehearsing non-stop to look and act the part ofSakshi.

Kiara Advani, who has been signed to essay the role of India's world cup winning captain Mahendra SinghDhoni's wife, Sakshi in Neeraj Pandey directed sports film says she is excited to have bagged the role.

Kiara Advani is in seventh heaven right now. The one-film old actress, who has been signed to essay the role of India's world cup winning captain Mahendra SinghDhoni's wife, Sakshi in Neeraj Pandey directed sports film says she is excited to have bagged the role.

Sharing her joy with us, Kiara said: "I am really happy and excited that I have been chosen to playDhoni's wife. I am feeling blessed because after Fugly' it was a conscious decision to wait for something good and my patience has paid off in the best way. To be working with Neeraj Pandey(director) is such a huge opportunity."

While Kiara is yet to meetDhoniand Sakshi in person, for the moment, she is busy prepping herself up for the role. "I am hoping I will get to meetDhoniand his wife soon," said Kiara.

When asked about her plans of getting into Sakshi's character, Kiara shared,"Sakshi is quite social media savvy. So whatever little glimpses I can get from the internet, I will learn from there but finally it is all in the script. Neeraj is so perfect with his script that he will stay true to the character."

And is Kiara a cricket buff too? "I am similar to Sakshi in that sense because I watch cricket whenever my dad does. And no prizes for guessing thatDhoniis my favourite cricketer now."

Kiara will be paired opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, who will playDhoniin the biopic. Talking about her co-star, Kiara said, "I have met Sushant and I feel he is a great actor and I am really looking forward to working with him."I am blessed to be playing SakshiDhoniin MSDhonibiopic: Kiara Advani

Is the film focused on the wife's story or the husband as well?
