Development of a Dhoni biopic began after the [[2011 Cricket World Cup Final]] and the discussion about the idea went on over the following years but remained dormant. Then, after a few years, Dhoni was at an airport when a child approached him and asked him a question on motivation. Dhoni sat down with the young boy and spent 5 minutes answering the question. His manager, [[Arun Pandey]], asked why he spent that much time and Dhoni replied how his answer was pivotal in benefiting and motivating the boy. This incident then prompted Pandey to make a film about him saying [to Dhoni] that his story has the power to motivate millions of children like him.<ref name="TOI3" /> After the idea coalesced, Pandey began to convince Dhoni himself in order to adapt his life into a full-length feature film.<ref name="TOI3">{{cite web |url=http://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Biopic-producer-says-whether-MS-Dhoni-charged-40-crore-or-4-lakh-for-his-story-is-irrelevant/articleshow/54448043.cms |title='MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' producer says whether MS Dhoni charged Rs 40 crore or 4 lakh for his story is irrelevant |author=Abhimanyu Mathur |work=[[Times of India]] |date=30 September 2016 |access-date=4 October 2016}}</ref> When he was first approached on the idea of the adaptation, he became a little worried and questioned the need for it.
