Revealed: The Reason behind absence of MS Dhoni’s brother from biopic

Indian skipper MS Dhoni’s biopic – “MS Dhoni – The Untold Story” continues to rake in the moolah and has impressed all the movie buffs. The biopic, depicting the journey and struggles of India’s limited overs captain, has met with critical as well as commercial acclaim. The movie was adored by all fans of MS Dhoni and that has been obvious by the box office numbers.

People who have watched the movie, though, have returned with one question in mind. All aspects close to Dhoni’s life were covered well in detail, except the character showcasing his elder brother Narendra Singh Dhoni. The elder sibling’s absence raised a few eyebrows as Dhoni’s other sibling, elder sister Jyoti, was given a major role in the movie.

Narendra, in an interview to a news channel, admitted that his character wasn’t shown in the movie due to the fact that he wasn’t a vital cog in MSD’s personal life. Narendra is 10 years elder to the Indian captain and is an active politician for the Samajwadi Party.

“I may be non-existent in the movie because I don’t have much contribution in Mahi’s life – be it during his childhood, his struggle as a young man or after he became MSD for the world. The film is about Mahi, not his family,” Narendra said.

“I am 10 years older to him. By the time, he picked up the bat for the first time, I was out of JVM-Shyamali and had also been away from home since 1991. I was in Almora at Kumon (University) where I completed my higher studies before returning to Ranchi. Although I may have moral contributions in Mahi’s life, showcasing it would have been very difficult in the film,” Narendra further added.

When quizzed about watching his younger brother play the game during his early days, the elder sibling said, “I did when I used to be home during vacation. I remember I was present when he debuted in Ranchi district senior tournament where he hit five fours in one over. He played beautifully than at Mecon grounds. Even after that, I saw him play on a few occasions at local meets whenever I came home.”
