MS Dhoni had bid adieu to international cricket in August this year but on the business front, he, along with his wife Sakshi, is taking their next step in the entertainment industry. Last year, the former cricketer’s Production company Dhoni Entertainment launched its first documentary web series titled ‘Roar of The Lion’. Now, they are set to launch their second web series based on an unpublished book.

Talking to mid-day, Sakshi Dhoni, who serves as the managing director of the production house, stated they have acquired the rights of the book and will soon launch the show in the OTT platform.

“We have acquired the rights of an unpublished book of a debutant author. We will adapt it into a web series. It is a mythological sci-fi story that explores the journey of a mysterious Aghori and is set at a high-tech facility on a remote island,” said Sakshi Dhoni.

MS Dhoni will be partially involved in the production house:

Sakshi Dhoni said that they had entered the entertainment industry with the aim to give opportunities to deserving talent. She also opened up that MS Dhoni, who is busy playing IPL in the UAE, will be involved in the projects as they both aim to produce good stories.

“We aim to give a platform to deserving talent to showcase their skills along with providing fresh and original content to the audience. Mahi will be partially involved [in the production house]. The day-to-day running of the company is looked after by me. We have a process to ensure quality control from the word go. Mahi and I take the final call with our team’s inputs and suggestions. Our aim is to produce good stories from our hearts,” Sakshi added.

MS Dhoni has not travelled with his family to UAE considering the spread of the coronavirus. His team has so far registered one victory out of three matches.
