Sibling to the rescue!

Sushant Singh Rajput is all set to play Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a biopic called MS Dhoni - The Untold Story. And to play the part of India's cricket captain convincingly, he will have sister Mitu Singh helping him out.

While the actor has played a cricketer on debut in Kai Po Che, playing Dhoni will be a different ballgame. The film directed and produced by Neeraj Pandey begins shooting at year-end.

Says a friend of the actor, "He loves cricket. But his sister (Mitu Didi), who is now happily married with children, is the real cricket champ of the family. Dhoni and Sushant share a friendly equation and the cricketer will offer extensive inputs. When he will be seen playing on the field, he wants to look convincing as Dhoni. His sister can help him with Dhoni's technique."
