The big screen is giving Suresh Raina the massy treatment, complete with cheerleaders and low-angle camera angles as he enters the picture.

A massive film entry by Suresh Raina

On their Instagram profile, DKS posted a video introducing Suresh Raina, who is fondly called "Chinna Thala" by the Chennai Super Kings supporters.

In the film, Raina can be seen walking into a cricket stadium with throngs of fans cheering her on. The film is anticipated to be centered around cricket, according to the announcement video. Logan is the director of the as yet unnamed picture, while D Saravana Kumar is the producer under the DKS name.

In the caption for the video, the producers said, "Welcoming Chinna Thala @sureshraina3 onboard for #DKSProductionNo1!"

Raina is one of the most loved figures in Chennai, having played 15 seasons of IPL for CSK. He was the vice-captain of the team for several seasons under MS Dhoni's captaincy. He won four IPL titles with Chennai Super Kings

Suresh Raina's stellar cricket career

Raina is considered one of the best middle-order batters produced by India in white-ball cricket, and was the first Indian player to have a century across all formats of the game. He was the bulwark of the Indian middle-order for a decade in ODIs and T20Is, but could never make his mark in Tests. Across formats, in 322 international matches, Raina scored 7,988 runs, with seven centuries and 48 fifties. The left-handed batter won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 with the Indian cricket team.

In 15 seasons of the IPL for CSK and Gujarat Giants, Raina scored 5528 runs with a century and 39 fifties. For his consistency across seasons, he is also known as Mr IPL.
