What do Dhoni & Tendulkar have in common other than cricket? Movies!
Both cricketers are turning actors.
Sachin Tendulkar will be acting in a cameo in Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak, which will be directed by Rajiv Sanghvi. He is a devotee of the Elephant God which is why he has agreed to be part of the movie without pay!
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to play a role in David Dhawan‘s Hook Ya Crook, which stars John Abraham, Kay Kay Menon, Shreyas Talpade and Genelia D’Souza.
Rani Mukerji will be re-appearing on screen as a cricketer in Aditya Chopra’s next venture about cricket aptly named Cricket. Nice and to the point.
The petite and plump actress has been losing out to younger actresses as she has put on a lot of weight. So she is working extra hard to get rid of all that extra baggage.
Her last movie Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic with Saif Ali Khan was a dismal flop and apart from that she had only a special appearance in the hit Rab Ne Bana Di Kya Jodi.
Cricket and Bollywood. The unofficial national pastimes one could say. The recent IPL series was one such event where the lines seemed to blur. Then there are the cricket players intent on a stint in Bollywood. Surprisingly less than ten movies made exclusively on the game come to mind!
