Is Dhoni set to become a movie hero?

At a promotional event, Sakshi was asked about the possibility of seeing Dhoni take on the role of a hero in a future film. She expressed her confidence in Dhoni's acting abilities, pointing out that he has been in front of the camera since 2006 and continues to do various advertisements. Sakshi also suggested that an action movie would suit him well, considering his dynamic and action-oriented nature on the cricket field.

Although Dhoni has bid farewell to international cricket, he remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
