Actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who is preparing himself for the upcoming biopic "M.S. Dhoni- The Untold Story", says he is "excited" to work for his next venture with filmmaker Homi Adajania.
It was earlier reported that Sushant has been cast alongside actor Irrfan Khan for Adajani's next. Sushant says he is Irrfan's fan and can't wait to start working with him.
"I am big fan of his (Irrfan) work. I am sure there is a lot I will get to learn from him. Can't wait to start working with him," said the "Kai Po Che" star.
Talking about the newest addition to his kitty, Sushant added: "It is a fantastic script and this will also be the first time I will work with Homi, which I am very excited about."
Sushant will be seen stepping into the shoes of Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the Neeraj Pandey directorial.
The actor, who is being trained by former Indian wicketkeeper Kiran More for the role, reportedly injured his ribs while practicing cricketer Dhoni's signature 'helicopter' shot.
