From cricket to Digital series, former Indian Cricket captain M S Dhoni has come a long way. He is all set to be seen in an animated version in the upcoming sci-fi web series Atharva: The Origin. He revealed his first look from the series touted to be a new age graphic novel, on his social media page. It features a short clip of demon like creatures in the battle field while Atharva comes to destroy them with his weapons. The series is produced by Dhoni Entertainment. 

Dhoni’s wife Sakshi who is the managing director of Dhoni Entertainment said, “The book is a mythological sci-fi which explores the journey of a mysterious Aghori who has been captured at a high-tech facility. The secrets revealed by this Aghori could alter the myths of the ancient, beliefs of the existing and course of the forthcoming.”

She added, “We would like to ensure that we execute all the aspects of this universe and bring out every character and story to the screen, with as much precision as possible. Web-series fit our purpose better than adapting it into a feature film.” Atharva: The Origin is based on writer Ramesh Thamilmani’s work. The couple’s production house has previously backed the docu series Roar of the Lion for Disney+ Hotstar in 2019.
