How Sushant Singh Rajput cashes in on his MS Dhoni image off-screen
The actor wants to cash in on his “M.S.Dhoni†image and endorse sports and fitness brands.
Sushant Singh Rajput is looking fitter by the day. The actor, who played M.S. Dhoni in Neeraj Pandey’s biopic of the cricketer, is now working on films like Kedarnath and Drive.
However, he still wants to encash on the fit Dhoni image, especially as he plays a movie stuntman turned getaway driver in Drive. The action packed movie is being produced by Karan Johar and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, and is the Indian adaptation of the Hollywood movie Drive, starring Ryan Gosling.
“Sushant is now looking at fitness and sports brands to endorse. He is a young actor, but chooses a lot of unconventional roles. So, it is a challenge, but Sushant hopes to be a role model for the youth with such brands,” says a brand source.
