The Chennai Super Kings player will be seen in a film, promoting social awareness with regard to women’s hygiene. “We are delighted to share the news of signing up with celebrated cricketer, to make a social awareness film. We are planning to shoot the film in the picturesque locales of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and in Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies,” says producers T. G.
