Dhoni, Yuvraj turn Actors

Bored of watching cricketers just play cricket? Now Dhoni and Yuvraj will do more. They will star in a film produced by Dino Morea.

Dino Morea is producing a film featuring cricketers MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, who are the star clients for his merchandising company for sports celebrities.

According to the buzz, Dino is all set to cast the two cricketers for his production house, Clockwork Films. Dino has written the script keeping in mind both the star cricketers.

Incidentally, Yuvraj and Dhoni are both closely associated with Bollywood and its glamour brigade. In fact, Dhoni plays a role in David Dhawan’s Hook Ya Crook.

Dino’s offer comes at a time when both Yuvraj and Dhoni are ready to face the camera as professional actors. Dino said, “They are pros in front of the camera because of their ads and several television appearances.”

Commenting on getting the two cricketers to act, Dino said, “It’s a natural progression. The only hitch is that Dhoni and Yuvraj are extremely busy cricketers. Their dates will have to be carefully worked out.”

Although the nature of the project isn’t being revealed, the film is expected to have a rugged sporty theme and will also feature Dino.

“Yuvraj and I have known each other from the time I started my company. Now we’ve Dhoni on board .We’re also planning to sign Sachin Tendulkar,” said Dino.
