MS Dhoni is all set for the second innings of his life as he has now donned producer’s cap with wife Saskhi. The couple is foraying into Over the Top (OTT) platforms with a sci-fi mythological web series.
The series will be produced under their banner Dhoni Entertainment which was launched in 2019 with the documentary “Roar of The Lion.”
Sakshi Dhoni, who is the managing director of the production house, said the upcoming series is a ‘thrilling adventure’. “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.
“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,” she said.
“I have paid more attention to the process of putting a thought and idea into creative action. The joy of seeing a concept being brought to life on screen keeps me engrossed, and we ensure the process is quality driven. When we were developing ‘Roar Of The Lion’, we thought it was the perfect time to venture into the entertainment industry,” Sakshi told IANS.
“The new project is exceptionally well written and the world created by the author is an adventure we are waiting to get to your screens, (it is) magical realism. It is a mythological sci-fi that explores the journey of a mysterious �Aghori’,” she said about their forthcoming web series.
Dhonis’ first venture ‘Roar of the Lion’ charted the comeback of the Chennai Super Kings, the Chennai franchise of the Indian Premier League (IPL), under skipper Dhoni, following a two-year suspension for spot-fixing. The docu drama was directed by Kabir Khan.
For the new series, the cast and crew has not been finalised yet.
