"He (Sushant) put in a lot of hard work to depict the character to perfection. We are grateful to Kiran More sir as he worked with Sushant, grooming him for almost nine months. Even Mahi Bhai was spellbound to see Sushant¡¯s dedication for his biopic," he was quoted as saying.

Dhoni's manager Arun Pandey told ABP News, ¡°A sequel has been long crossing his mind and there were thoughts of coming up with something at some point of time but given what happened, everything is now meaningless.¡±

He added, "Sushant was only 34 and a prosperous career was waiting for him, I have no doubt about that. There are ups and downs in everyone¡¯s life. I still remember that Sushant had a bad side strain during practice and there was a crack in his backbone. But he was confident, worked hard in rehabilitation and recovered within a week. Even Mahi was impressed to see his dedication to work".
