Kiara Advani to portray Sakshi Dhoni in 'M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story'

She debuted in Bollywood with the movie 'Fugly' and she became a part of many fashion shows too. And now, the vivacious Kiara Advani is ready to portray Sakshi Dhoni, the wife of the Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the forthcoming official biopic on his life titled 'M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story'.

In the meanwhile, the rumours were rife that Parineeti Chopra will play Dhoni's wife in this biopic. Kiara has been finalized for the role now. As revealed by a close source "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 this 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."

The director Neeraj Pandey found Kiara's audition for this role as amazing and during the screen test and rehearsals, she had a good chemistry with the lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput and Kiara bagged the role.

'M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story' will start rolling by the month end.
