MUMBAI: Cricketer MS Dhoni, whose production company Dhoni Entertainment Pvt Ltd launched its first documentary web series ‘Roar of The Lion’ last year, is set to launch its second show after having acquired the rights of an unpublished book.
Dhoni’s wife Sakshi, who serves as the managing director of the production house, confirmed to Mid-Day that the show would soon launch on an OTT platform.
“We have acquired the rights of an unpublished book of a debutant author.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 (ascetic devotee of the Hindu God Shiva) and is set at a high-tech facility on a remote island,” Sakshi Dhoni told the tabloid.
Ms Dhoni told Mid-Day that they had entered the entertainment industry with the aim to give opportunities to deserving talent. “We aim to give a platform to deserving talent to showcase their skills along with providing fresh and original content to the audience. Mahi (MS Dhoni) will be partially involved (in the production house). The day-to-day running of the company is looked after by me. We have a process to ensure quality control from the word go. Mahi and I take the final call with our team’s inputs and suggestions. Our aim is to produce good stories from our hearts,” she said.
