Supported by Dharma Productions, the film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi has attracted significant interest ever since it was announced. It appears that M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) did not satisfy Dhoni fans, as they continued to express their enthusiasm for witnessing a more comprehensive account of the life of Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. While Karan Johar often faced criticism for producing conventional romantic films, this time, he has received immense adoration for presenting Mr. & Mrs. Mahi.
Exciting news for fans of Mahi! The highly anticipated film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is set to hit theaters worldwide on May 31, 2024. The release date has undergone multiple changes, with the latest schedule placing it in April. Rajkummar Rao will portray the lead role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, while Janhvi Kapoor will take on the role of a character named Mahima. In his announcement of the release date, Karan Johar penned a touching message emphasizing that certain films transcend mere narratives. They surpass the boundaries of cinematic affection, and we wholeheartedly concur with this sentiment! Additionally, he disclosed that “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” will engage audiences in a conversation about aspirations and the obstacles that hinder us from realizing them.
This marks the second collaboration between Rao and Kapoor. Their previous project was the horror-comedy Roohi (2021), where Janhvi portrayed the ghost. Filming for Mr. & Mrs. Mahi concluded in May 2023, and shortly after, Dharma Productions announced the release date as April 19, 2024. While the cause of the delay remains undisclosed, the film is encountering significant challenges. One possible issue could be the competition from Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan, another sports biography. The filmmakers may have opted not to compete directly with Maidaan. Directed by Sharan Sharma, known for his directorial debut in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020), Mr. & Mrs. Mahi tells the life story of Mahendra Singh Dhoni with a unique twist. Unlike his previous work, this film will primarily highlight the sports aspect of Dhoni’s life, making it a must-watch for devoted Mahi fans.
