From Being A Backup Dancer For Preity Zinta At Award Ceremonies To Playing Mahendra Singh Dhoni In Neeraj Pandeys Next Film, Sushant Singh Rajput Has Had Quite The Journey.
On 2nd April, 2011, on perhaps the best day of Mahendra Singh Dhoni ’s life, there wasn’t a man in India who didn’t want to be him. Four-and-a-bit years later, I ’m looking at the man who will ‘ be’ him in an upcoming biopic. Sushant Singh Rajput is a sober, unassuming presence. Even at our shoot, the only reason I notice him is because, bundled in mohair and cashmere, he’s the best-dressed person on set . Can Rajput portray the masculinity, the rooted charm, the restrained aggression, and the troubled and celebrated life of Dhoni? Can he make us believe, for three brief hours, that he has crystal in his veins and embers in his heart?
