Filmmaker Aditya Dhar wanted to become a cricketer, but according to director Priyadarshan, he could not make it to the Under-19 cricket team due to political influence. A tweet has gone viral claiming that instead of Dhar, Stuart Binny, son of Roger Binny, was given the opportunity in the team.

Dhurandhar director Aditya Dhar is currently one of the biggest filmmakers that we have in the Indian film industry. But did you know he actually wanted to become a cricketer? This revelation was made by filmmaker Priyadarshan in a recent interview. The Bhooth Bangla director stated that Dhar was not selected in the Under-19 team due to political influence.

In an interview with Mashable, he said, "Three years, I think we worked together, and he was writing dialogues also for me. He had a wonderful language, which was his biggest asset at that time. He came to me when he was very disappointed with a few films, which actually he penned, but never got a credit for."

Priyadarshan further said, "He was a cricketer, but he could not get into the Under-19 team because of some political influence, so he was moved out. He was very disappointed sitting at home. Someone called him to see a film, and that was Gardish. He said he saw and said, 'This is something I want to do and I came to Mumbai'."
