The development means that Jadeja will join former India and current Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the list of cricketers-turned-producers. It was just over a month ago that Dhoni had announced his first movie as a producer under his label Dhoni Entertainment Pvt Ltd.
Veteran India opening batter Shikhar Dhawan, meanwhile, had made his acting debut in a cameo role in Satramm Ramani’s ‘Double XL’ last year. Dropped from the Indian squad, Dhawan had confirmed availability for more acting roles post retirement from all formats.
