The cricket player from Uttar Pradesh talked about his motivation for launching with a Tamil movie, citing his extensive time spent in Tamil Nadu while playing for the Chennai Super Kings. ‘Chinna Thala’ is another affectionate term used by the devoted CSK supporters to refer to him.
“DKS has a good director, in my opinion, and the story felt a lot like our experience when it was told to me. At the press conference for the film’s launch, Suresh Raina was cited as stating, “I’ve played a lot of matches here for CSK, and the people have always shown immense love,” which is why the cricket-based film had to begin in Tamil Nadu.
