As he reflects on his illustrious career, Dhawan has also revealed his dream cast for a potential biopic based on his life. Speaking to Hindustan Times, the southpaw expressed his desire to have Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar or Ranveer Singh portray him on the big screen.

“I would love it, only if it is made well. As for me acting in it, I would happily do it in case I added any value to the film. As for other actors, I would love for Akshay Paaji (Akshay Kumar) to do it, or even Ranveer Singh, for the sheer energy he has,” said Dhawan.

This revelation has stirred excitement among his fans, who can easily imagine either of these two dynamic actors bringing Dhawan’s journey to life. Akshay, known for his versatility and dedication, and Ranveer, fameꦿd for his high-energy performances, are both fitting choices to depict Dhawan’s journey from Delhi to the international cricket stage.
