Sushant Singh Rajput famously played the role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his biopic, MS Dhoni. The actor essayed the role with perfection and won hearts over. However, did you know that the Chennai Super Kings aka CSK’s former captain once lost his cool while helping SSR prepare for the film. During the promotions of the film, Sushant admitted he saw Dhoni, fondly known as Captain Cool due to his calm nature, lose his cool.
In a video from the press conference of the film, Sushant revealed, “For the first time, I have seen Dhoni losing his cool. First two to three days I asked him some questions and he answered them calmly. Then he said you ask a lot of questions let me come back. I was just asking him one question in different ways again and again."
Dhoni chipped in to add that it was a little awkward for him to talk about himself. “He (Sushant) used to ask one question repeatedly and if he gets a similar answer then he used to believe that I am being honest and then he used to go to the next question," MS Dhoni said. He added, “It was a bit awkward initially to speak about yourself. After 15 mins you get bored talking about yourself and I was like I need a break, I am going."
