Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Sushant Singh Rajput shared a close bond especially since Sushant became MS Dhoni's shadow while he was shooting for his biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. MS Dhoni, the former Indian skipper celebrates his 39th birthday today and it is the perfect chance for us to revisit his bond with Sushant. 

MS Dhoni had been all praise for the late actor who essayed him in his biopic in 2016 and had confirmed that Sushant managed to perform a "replica" of his famous Helicopter shot. But to do that, MS Dhoni lightheartedly also complained about how Sushant asked him too many questions while prepping for the film.

During the trailer launch of the film, Dhoni had said, "Sushant must be feeling more nervous because it was for him to show what he was feeling inside and make the audience believe him, for which he has scraped me. He used to ask me about how did I feel at that time, how do I feel now. I told him, “yaar tum sawaal he poochhte rehte ho (you keep asking too many questions). In reality, we spent a lot less time together."

He had added, "But the kind of effort he has put in the film because one of the essential part of the film was cricket. Of course, all of us play cricket but when you have to show it on screen, you have to learn certain things, especially cricket shots. He has hit the helicopter shot in the movie and it’s exactly like a replica. So Sushant has put a lot of effort."
