Gautam Gambhir makes another jibe at MS Dhoni biopic through comment on Uri attack

Gautam Gambhir once again showed his displeasure at the upcoming biopic, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, based on Indian cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. 

This time, the Delhi boy demanded a movie based on the lives of 17 soldiers who were killed in a terrorist attack in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.

These 17 martyrs deserv a biopic rather dan any cricketer. No better inspiration dan a young man sacrificing his life 4 his country.

The post, uploaded on Gambhir's Twitter page on Monday, echoed his sentiments from Sunday evening.

In another tweet, the batsman posted an image of himself, with a quote taken from an earlier interview, criticising the making of a film based on the lives of cricketers.

At a time when most former and present cricketers have expressed their happiness about the film on Dhoni, Gambhir's comments have raised a lot of eyebrows. Gambhir's relationship with Dhoni is nothing to write home about.

Gambhir was recently ignored for India's Test series against New Zealand even after an impressive run in the Duleep Trophy.

Incidentally, the biopics that have been made on the lives of cricketers include Azhar, (based on former Indian skipper, Mohammad Azharuddin's life) and Hansie: A True Story (based on the life story of late South African captain Hansie Cronje). Sachin: A Billion Dreams is a biographical film on Sachin Tendulkar which is currently under production. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story starring actor Sushant Singh Rajput will release on September 30, 2016.
