In an unexpected yet exciting collaboration, Captain Cool MS Dhoni has joined forces with filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga for a unique advertisement that has taken the internet by storm. Dhoni, who is currently gearing up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, surprises fans by channeling his inner ‘Animal’, sporting a wig similar to Ranbir Kapoor’s character Ranvijay Singh from the popular film Animal.
Dhoni as Ranvijay Singh: The Perfect Recreation
The advertisement begins with Dhoni stepping out of his swanky car, exuding coolness while holding an electric cycle instead of a gun, recreating a memorable scene from the movie Animal. The scene is not just a visual treat but also includes a memorable dialogue from the film. When Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who also stars in the ad, praises Dhoni’s performance, he can’t help but whistle, only for Dhoni to respond with Ranbir’s famous line, “Sunayi de raha hai mujhe, behra nahi hu main” (I can hear you, I’m not deaf). This fun exchange between Dhoni and Vanga perfectly mirrors the essence of Animal.
A Humorous Take on Filmmaking
In a lighthearted moment, Dhoni jokingly asks, “Sandy, ye thoda zyada nahi hogaya?” (Isn’t this too much?), to which Vanga teases him, “Sir next shot dekho kya hone wala hai” (See what the next shot will be). This playful behind-the-scenes interaction adds charm to the advertisement.
Social Media Reactions
The collaboration has garnered immense attention on social media, with Bobby Deol, who played the antagonist in Animal, commenting, “toooooo cool” alongside fire and clapping emojis. Fans have also expressed their excitement, with comments like “Thala in Animal mode” and “Unexpected Collaboration” flooding the posts.
