Actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput,
who
will
play
the
title
role
in
Neeraj
Pandey's
upcoming
biopic
M.
S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story,
says
the
filmmaker
had
not
seen
any
of
his
previously
films
and
selected
him
for
the
role
after
a
general
20
minute
conversation.
"Neeraj
sir
called
me
for
this
film.
Before
'M.
S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story',
he
had
never
seen
any
of
my
films.
We
had
a
general
20
minute
conversation
after
which
he
said,
'Okay,
you
are
selected.'
Even
I
didn't
take
a
chance
to
ask
him
why
you
are
taking
me,"
Sushant
said
here
on
Tuesday
during
a
chat
with
actor
Gaurav
Kapur.
Sushant
admitted
that
one
thing
that
he
couldn't
understand
about
Dhoni
was
his
attitude
towards
life.
"I
have
been
Dhoni's
fan
for
last
12
years
and
I
am
following
him
everywhere.
Just
there
was
one
thing
which
I
couldn't
understand
-
his
way
of
thinking
and
why
he
is
the
way
he
is?
I
asked
him
a
lot
of
questions
about
that
even
made
him
angry,"
he
said.
Dhoni,
who
was
also
present
during
the
event,
said
he
would
not
like
to
relive
the
shooting
days
of
the
film
again
because
Sushant
asked
him
a
lot
of
questions.
"Sushant
has
done
very
well.
He
has
totally
imitated
the
way
I
talk
and
I
walk.
I
don't
think
I
carry
that
grace
with
me,
but
he
has
copied
everything.
He
practiced
cricket
for
almost
nine
months
for
two-three
hours
every
day.
Now
he
can
even
participate
in
a
cricket
tournament.
"But
he
asked
a
lot
of
questions
to
me.
I
really
don't
wish
to
relive
those
days
again," Dhoni
said.
He
even
quipped
that
he
would
prefer
former
Australian
leg
spinner
Shane
Warne's
googly
over
Sushant's
questions
because
"it's
my
profession
and
I
can
handle
that
easily".
Dhoni,
who
is
often
called
'Mahi' by
his
fans,
said
he
has
found
another
nickname
through
this
film
--
'Subject'.
"Wherever
I
go
with
them
for
promotions,
they
introduce
me
saying
that
the
subject
of
the
film
is
here.
So
I
have
found
a
new
nickname,"
he
said.
"M.
S.
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story"
is
slated
to
release
on
Friday.
