Former Indian Cricket Team captain and wicketkeeper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, recently released the first look of his character Atharva from his upcoming Graphic novel titled Atharva: The Origin.
Backed by Dhoni entertainment, Atharva is touted to be a mythological sci-fi web series. In the first clip revealed by the cricketer, Dhoni can be seen in his animated avatar, exchanging hits and fits in the battlefield.
Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2019, seems to be exploring newer avenues, and Atharva happens to be one among them. The “new age graphic novel” was announced in 2020 as “an adaptation of an unpublished book by debutant author”. Dhoni’s wife Sakshi Singh Dhoni, who is the managing director of Dhoni Entertainment, spoke about producing the series. She called it a “thrilling series”.
Dhoni Entertainment, the media company founded by the couple also produced their debut project — the docu series Roar of the Lion for Disney+ Hotstar in 2019.
