'Dhoni' slated for a December release

MS Dhoni may have come under severe criticism for India's string of defeats against England in the ongoing tour. That however, has not stopped 5-time National award winning actor-producer from announcing a December release for his Tamil film - Dhoni.

While the shooting has already begun in Hyderabad and will soon shift locations to Chennai, it is believed that the film will hit theatres in December this year.

The Indian skipper has many firsts to his credit and the film is no different as Maestro Ilayaraja has opted for live recording while composing the songs. This is done rarely in the film industry these days. The final outcome of 'Dhoni' at the box-office remains to be seen.
