Over a month after he announced his retirement from international cricket, former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is charting a new inning in the entertainment industry. The sports star, who had launched his banner Dhoni Entertainment in 2019 with the multilingual documentary Roar of the Lion, is developing a wide slate of projects for the next year.

Talking to mid-day, Sakshi Dhoni, who serves as the managing director of the production house, reveals that they have zeroed in on their second offering. "We have acquired the rights of an unpublished book of a debutant author. We will adapt it into a web series. It is a mythological sci-fi story that explores the journey of a mysterious Aghori and is set at a high-tech facility on a remote island," says Sakshi, adding that the adventure drama explores the genre of magical realism. Currently in the process of developing the series, the creative team will finalise the cast and director soon. It is heard that the studio is simultaneously working on five other projects.
