Raina is currently in Poland, working on his cricket academy, and feels that biopics reveal unknown stories about the cricketers. As per the reports published in the Hindustan Times, he said, “You never know the true story of why someone like a Tendulkar or a Dhoni became a cricketer. They too were simple just like anyone else, but they did something that made them famous.”
“When a biopic gets made on the life of a cricketer, people get to know the struggles they went through to become icons for the country and the sport. For me, I am more excited about Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic than Dhoni paji’s. I followed Sachin since childhood and I am excited to know what sacrifices he made in his life to be who he is,” added Raina.

With a biopic, a fan will know what goes behind the scenes and get inspired to do something for themselves and the country.”
