MS Dhoni’s first look as Atharva in mythological sci-fi series revealed, watch video

Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni on Wednesday revealed the first look of his graphic novel titled Atharva: The Origin. It is based on writer Ramesh Thamilmani’s work. Touted to be mythological sci-fi web-series, it is backed by Dhoni Entertainment.

In the first look clip, we see Dhoni in an animated avatar on a battlefield with his character fighting against a demon-like army. Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2019, seems to be exploring newer avenues, and Atharva happens to be one among that.

The “new age graphic novel” was announced in 2020 as “an adaptation of an unpublished book by debutant author”. Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Singh Dhoni, who is the managing director of Dhoni Entertainment, spoke about producing the series. She called it a “thrilling series”.
