Versatile actor Prakash Raj says that wielding the megaphone, besides playing the lead and producing 'Dhoni', makes him thrice as happy. As an actor seeing a movie as a canvas of painting, he derives immense pleasure from making Dhoni.

For the actor who values cinema with a conscience, and who doesn't mind doing a socially-relevant film without a taking a penny (Kanjeevaram), Dhoni has got an evolutionary significance for him.

Producing the movie on Duet Movies, Prakash has roped in Puri Jagannadh's son Master Akash for a prominent role. Maestro Illayaraja will score the music and the re-recording will be done in live mode, as wanted by Raj.

Radhika Apte, Tanikella Bharani, Brahmanandam, Nasser and others play important roles in the movie.
