No player in the history of cricket has ever achieved this feat as a team captain. Although Dhoni has retired from international cricket, his fans around the nation love to see him play in any capacity possible. He is currently the captain of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.

Even though the ex-captain of team India isn’t active on social media, his followers keep increasing regularly. Apart from cricket, Dhoni has also been a part of the Indian film industry. He has produced three small-budget films under the banner of MS Dhoni Entertainment such as Roar of the Lion, The Hidden Hindu and Blaze to Glory.

The entertainment company will now be producing films in Tamil and other Southern Indian languages like Telugu and Malayalam. The production house is owned by the ex-cricketer and his wife Sakshi.

LetsCinema made this announcement on Twitter from their official handle and captioned – “EXCLUSIVE: Dhoni is launching his film production company in south ‘Dhoni Entertainment’ to produce films in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.” With 16.1 thousand likes, the post immediately went viral.

The three films that he produced were about the following:
