Dhoni is an inspiration to me: Rajamouli
Rajamouli: “As a director I know that an actor can do justice to the other person only if he gets into the skin of the part and that’s what Sushant did exactly.”
The usually composed Rajamouli, for a change, behaved like an enthusiastic fan at the event, screaming ‘Dhoni Dhoni’ along with the attendance as he took the microphone to speak.
Stating that Dhoni is an inspiration to him, he said, “We started watching cricket in mid 80s. We were introduced to the joy of the game by the likes of Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Azharuddin. But we always doubted whether the team will win or not as there were instances where we lost despite being in a winning position. So more than joy, we had fear watching our matches but all that changed after Dhoni came along. And after he became the captain, we started watching cricket without fear, knowing very well that he will shepherd us to victory. He inspired many rookies to play cricket without any fear.”
Pointing out that he would be watching ‘MS Dhoni- The Untold Story’ on the first day itself, Rajamouli congratulated Sushant for nailing the part. “When I first saw the trailer I found him to be a replica of Dhoni. But he was not imitating Dhoni. As a director I know that an actor can do justice to the other person only if he gets into the skin of the part and that’s what Sushant did exactly.”
