A young man is looking for an aghori. The name of this Aghori is Om Shastri. In fact, it has been more than two hundred years since it was first detected. And when he got caught, he was taken to a deserted island of the country, where all the arrangements for modern technology were made. There a team of seven specialists interacted with him by giving him medicines and hypnotizing him. It was a kind of narco test in which Aghori claimed that he is a creature of Satyug. He said that he was present not only in the time of Rama, but also in the time of Krishna and that he has seen all the four ages. Treta, all Dwapar. He also claimed that like him there are some other people of bygone ages in this world and he is trying to meet those people. Like people who are hidden somewhere in time.

Akshat Gupta is the author of this science fiction story woven from the mystical aspects of Hindu mythology. Surprisingly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the country’s most successful cricket captain, took the initiative to adapt this novel named ‘The Hidden Hindu’ into a web series. Rather, his wife Sakshi liked this story before him. Anyway, Sakshi is the managing director in Dhoni’s production house ‘Dhoni Entertainment’.

This company has made a docu-drama named ‘Roar of the Lion’ which is the team’s bang on the end of the two-year ban imposed on the team for being caught in spot-fixing of some people associated with Chennai Super Kings, a franchise of IPL. based on return. Directed by Aamir Rizvi, ’83’, which released a few months back, was co-produced by director Kabir Khan, ‘Roar of the Lion’. Along with Hindi, it was also made in Tamil. Similarly, this company made the documentary ‘The Blaze to Glory’ on the 2011 Cricket World Cup. This World Cup was played in India in which not only India won but MS Dhoni was the captain in it.

So it is not correct to say that Dhoni is now foraying into film production. They are already in this business. It is sure that they are expanding their work and now they will make big films. And they are going to start it from the south. In his first big film itself, he plans to cast big stars from the south. It will feature Tamil stars Thalapathy Vijay and Mahesh Babu, Malayalam’s Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kannada star Kiccha Sudeep. Who will be the actresses in this, it is not clear yet.

By the way, Dhoni’s inclination towards films is quite old. A few days after the 2011 World Cup victory, a child recognized Dhoni at an airport and asked him something. Dhoni sat there for five-six minutes and kept explaining something to that child. Seeing this, his friend and manager Arun Pandey thought of Dhoni’s biopic. He spoke to Neeraj Pandey, who made ‘A Wednesday’, ‘Baby’ and ‘Special Chhabis’, about this. Neeraj also liked this idea and he engaged his team to research all the incidents of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s life. The role of Dhoni in ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ was played by Sushant Singh Rajput, on whose death there was a lot of ruckus in the country. Disha Patani, Kiara Advani and Anupam Kher were also with him. This Fox Star Studios film was released in 61 countries in 2016. In India, it was released in Hindi as well as Tamil and Telugu and entered the 100 crore club. It earned around Rs 120 crore.

Although Dhoni is liked by the whole country, but in terms of IPL, he liked Chennai so much that he never went to any other team except Chennai Super Kings. It is believed that he has spent so much time in Chennai that he also became known and friends with many film makers of the South. And now Dhoni is going to launch his film business in a big way, that too from the South. The new office of his company is also said to be being built in Chennai. The special thing is that this news has come at a time when South films are dominating the whole country. Barring ‘RRR’, ‘Vikram’, ‘KGF – Chapter Two’, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ and now ‘Kantara’, that is, a couple of Bollywood films, for many months, the South’s films have been going on continuously. So was Dhoni waiting for such a time? No, he would have expanded his film production company even before that, even then he probably would have done it from the south. Because of its spontaneity and its special relationship with Chennai.
