Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina is gearing up for a new innings—this time not on the cricket pitch but on the silver screen. The much-loved southpaw, known for his explosive batting and electric fielding, is all set to make his acting debut, adding another feather to his already illustrious cap.

According to a report by PTI, Raina will be seen in a lead role in an upcoming Hindi feature film, the details of which are being closely guarded by the makers. The project is said to blend sports, drama, and patriotism—elements Raina has embodied throughout his cricketing journey. The announcement has already sparked curiosity among fans and the film fraternity alike, with many eager to see how the former Chennai Super Kings star transitions from the stadium to the screen.

The film is currently in pre-production, with an official announcement expected soon. Industry insiders say Raina has been undergoing workshops to prepare for his role, and that his natural charisma and screen presence have been evident from the start. While the cricketer has often appeared in commercials and talk shows, this will be his first full-fledged feature film outing.

A stalwart of Indian cricket, Suresh Raina retired from international cricket in 2020 and has since kept himself busy with commentary, entrepreneurship, and philanthropic initiatives. Known as Mr. IPL for his consistent performances in the Indian Premier League, Raina enjoys a strong fan following across the country.

His move to cinema follows in the footsteps of other cricketers like Salil Ankola and Ajay Jadeja, who have also explored acting after their sports careers. With his larger-than-life persona and deep connection with audiences, Raina’s entry into films is being seen as a promising development in the world of sports-driven entertainment.

Further details on the cast, crew, and release timeline are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
