Suresh Raina Turns Actor! Set to Make Tamil Film Debut
Suresh Raina to make acting debut in Tamil cinema with a cricket-themed film, says story reminded him of CSK journey.
Suresh Raina is all set to begin a new innings, this time, not on the cricket field, but on the big screen. The former India batter has confirmed that he will be making his acting debut in a Tamil film.
The announcement came through Dream Knight Studios, the production house behind the project. They shared a video featuring Raina on their official social media page, confirming his entry into the Tamil film industry.
Raina spoke about his decision during a press event. He shared that the story of the film reminded him of his own cricket journey, especially his time with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
“I think DKS has an excellent director, and when the story was presented to me, it really resonated with our journey,” Raina said. “Since it’s a cricket-themed film, starting in Tamil Nadu felt right. I’ve played for CSK and always received so much love from the people.”
Raina is no stranger to life beyond cricket. He has already opened a restaurant in Amsterdam and often appears as a commentator during India’s matches. But acting, he says, will allow him to explore a completely new side of himself.
Joking about what lies ahead, Raina added, “I think I’ll be a great singer, with a guitar in hand, making delicious dosas for my teammates, and enjoying some rasam rice. I’ll be relaxed and stress-free.”
With a fan base that stretches far beyond the cricket world, Raina’s debut in Tamil cinema is likely to be welcomed with open arms.
