After Cricket, Going to Debut in Tamil Movie Industry

Former cricketer Suresh Raina is all set to make his acting debut in a film being produced under the banner of Dream Night Stories. The makers shared a glimpse of the film on Instagram, where fans got their first look at Raina’s entry as an actor.
The teaser begins with a cricket stadium filled with cheering fans, celebrating Raina’s entry. It then introduces him as an actor in the upcoming film. At the end of the teaser, the film’s temporary title ‘Production 1’ is shown.
In Tamil Nadu, fans lovingly call Raina ‘Chinna Thala’, which means “little brother”, as he played for the IPL team Chennai Super Kings. His introduction in the teaser also reflects that same energy and charm.
The film is being directed by Logan, who has worked on popular Tamil movies like Maan Karate, Remo, and Gethu. Raina is very excited about this new journey. He even shared his feelings on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“From cricket grounds to the frames of Kollywood, I’ve brought the spirit of Chennai with me. I’m proud to be a part of this new journey.”
Other Cricketers Who Debuted in Kollywood
Before Raina, other cricketers also tried their hand at acting in Tamil films.
Harbhajan Singh made his acting debut in the 2021 Tamil film Friendship. Though he had done cameo roles in Bollywood before, this was his first proper acting role.
Irfan Pathan appeared in the 2022 Tamil film Cobra alongside actor Chiyaan Vikram.
Now, after Harbhajan and Irfan, it’s Suresh Raina’s turn to enter the film industry. It will be interesting to see how fans react to his first film.
Now we have to see whether after making a splash in cricket, we will be able to make a splash in the film industry or not. It is not necessary that after being successful in cricket, one will also get success in the film industry. It will depend on the audience. Whether the audience likes Raina’s acting or not will be known only after the movie is released.
But let me tell you that the promo of the movie has been launched and it has created a stir and its fans are very excited and are waiting for the movie to release.
What do you think the movie will be a hit or a flop? I believe that movies don’t run just on the name but the public is excited to see their acting but it is very important whether people like their acting or not, this is a question mark.
Till now many cricketers have worked in movies but they did not get success in the movies and the public did not like them as an actors. Let me tell you that tennis players also tried their luck in movies but they could not succeed. Fans are always excited but when the movie comes, they do not like it and then people think that they were better as a cricketer.
Conclusion
What do you think whether Suresh Raina will be able to become a good actor or not. He was a good player, but now we have to see how he executes his new task and how much he works hard. He has won everyone’s heart on the ground, but now we have to see whether he will be able to win everyone’s heart on the big screen or not. Anyway, many congratulations to him for his upcoming new movie and new career.
