Herry Tangiri shed 15 kg to play Yuvraj Singh onscreen in MS Dhoni biopic

This is Herry’s second biopic. The actor was also seen in “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, and interestingly the actor was asked to put on 12 kg for his role in the film, based on the popular athlete Milkha Singh.

“Being a Punjabi and a foodie, it was very difficult for me. But my dedication towards the character helped me control my eating habits. Even Yuvraj’s father with whom I shared screen space in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ said that I looked like his son which is a huge compliment for me,” said Herry.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni took actor Sushant Singh Rajput to his home in the capital after the promotions of the forthcoming film “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” here.

Dhoni on Wednesday evening took Sushant and the film’s producer Arun Pandey to his home in Air India Colony. The address was home to Dhoni, during his visits to the capital city until 2012, read a statement.

The house holds a special place in the cricketer’s heart. It is the same place where Dhoni returned to, to celebrate his 2011 World Cup win. The house was also his point of departure to tie the knot with Sakshi, read a statement issued on behalf of the makers of the biopic.

The Indian cricketing sensation took a walk down memory lane and reminisced about old times with Sushant and Pandey.

“M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” is helmed by Neeraj Pandey. The film, backed by Fox Star Studios, is set to release on Friday.
