Disha Patani learned tribal language for ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’

Actress Disha Patani, who is making her Bollywood debut with the biopic of Cricketer MS Dhoni, learnt a Tribal language for her character. Disha, who plays Dhoni’s former girlfriend in the film, picked up few lines in Asuri, a tribal language primarily used by the Munda community.

“Since Asuri is spoken in a few pockets of Jharkhand, Dhoni’s home state, Disha trained with a tribal linguistic expert for two hours a day. He would also accompany her to the sets to guide her in getting the diction and accent correct. She will be speaking in Asuri in bits and parts, and not extensively,” a source revealed to a leading publication.

“It is extremely difficult to learn Asuri since references to it are sparse. Only a handful of people in India speak the language. Moreover, there is hardly any script development for it.” they added.

Disha says it was quite a challenge to learn the language but she found it interesting.
