For those fans who have been missing MS Dhoni in action, it’s a celebratory news that you will get to see him in a completely new avatar. The former captain of the Indian cricket team is currently gearing up for the launch of his graphic novel titled Atharva: The Origin. The cricketer shared the look on his Facebook page and wrote, "Happy to announce my new Avatar..Atharva (sic)."

In the teaser, the iconic cricketer could be seen fighting devils in his animated avatar.

Here’s the teaser: 

About his new project, Dhoni was quoted as saying by The Hindu, “I am thrilled to be associated with this project and it is indeed an exciting venture. Atharva - The Origin is a captivating graphic novel with an engaging story and immersive artworks. Author Ramesh Thamilmani’s attempt to launch India’s first mythological superhero with a contemporary twist will leave every reader wanting for more.”

According to Indian Express, the book is a mythological sci-fi which explores the journey of a mysterious Aghori who has been captured at a high-tech facility. Sakshi Dhoni told the leading daily, “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.” 

“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,” added Sakshi. 

Fans are happy to see him trying something completely different but there are people who are not okay with this. They questioned Dhoni as to why he approved of this and went on to say that it’s a shoddy edit job.
