Mahendra
Singh
Dhoni
will
be
backing
a
mythological
sci-fi
web
series
with
his
production
house
Dhoni
Entertainment.
The
former
Indian
cricket
captain
had
entered
the
entertainment
industry
last
year,
by
producing
documentary
series
called
Roar
Of
The
Lion.
Dhoni,
who
recently
announced
his
retirement
from
international
cricket
in
August,
is
a
two-time
World
Cup-winning
captain.
His
second
production
is
an
adaptation
of
an
unpublished
book
by
a
new
author.
His
wife
Sakshi
Dhoni
has
said
that
the
upcoming
series
is
a
thrilling
adventure.
Hindustan
Times
quoted
her
as
saying,
"The
book
is
a
mythological
sci-fi
which
explores
the
journey
of
a
mysterious
Aghori
who
has
been
captured
at
a
high-tech
facility.
The
secrets
revealed
by
this
Aghori
could
alter
the
myths
of
the
ancient,
beliefs
of
the
existing
and
course
of
the
forthcoming." Sakshi
is
the
managing
producer
of
Dhoni
Entertainment.
Talking
further
about
the
project,
she
said,
"We
would
like
to
ensure
that
we
execute
all
the
aspects
of
this
universe
and
bring
out
every
character
and
story
to
the
screen,
with
as
much
precision
as
possible.
Web
series
fit
our
purpose
better
than
adapting
it
into
a
feature
film."
The
production
house's
first
project,
Roar
Of
The
Lion
followed
the
comeback
of
the
Indian
Premiere
League

Chennai
Super

of

after
a
two-year
suspension
for
spot
fixing.
It
was
directed
by
Kabir
Khan,
who
is
now
directing
'83,
a
film
on
the
1983
cricket
World
Cup
win
of
India,
