Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan is experiencing the purple patch his career. After giving a mind-boggling performance with Badrinath Ki Dulhania, the reports have suggested that he playing the role of legendary hockey player of India Dhyan Chand in his biopic.

The legendary hockey player has been known for scoring more than 400 goals during his international career. The announcement of the biopic was made last year but there was no further confirmation or development on the same. However, now the biopic has hit the news again and some speculations have surrounding that the former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is going to produce the movie and it will be the new innings of Dhoni’s life.

The reports of Deccan Chronicle said, “Cricketer M.S. Dhoni has acquired the rights to the film and might produce it. It is still not clear whether Karan will be co-producing the film, but Rohit is very much directing the film with Varun.”

Rohit Vaid will be directing the movie and it will be co-produced by Karan Johar. The daily also quoted that neither the actor nor Karan wanted Rohit to direct the film. In fact, it claims that Varun had once opted out of the film because of the script, which did not go well with him. But things seem to have taken a new turn altogether.

This is MS Dhoni’s new step toward the field of entertainment after being associated with his biopic last year – MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, which not only became one of the highest-grossing films of 2016 but also fetched a lot of appreciation for actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who portrayed the role of the ‘Captain Cool.’
