Decision-making
Raina reveals why he chose DKS for his debut
Raina, who joined the launch event via video call from Amsterdam, explained his decision to choose DKS for his acting debut. He said, "I think DKS has a good director and first of all when the director told me the story, it was very close to us." "Then being a cricket movie, it has to start from Tamil Nadu because we have been playing a lot of matches for CSK over the years and they have a lot of love."
Actor aspirations
Raina says he'll be a 'very good' singer
When asked about his potential as an actor, Raina humorously replied, "I think I will be a very good singer. Having a guitar in my hand. Making a nice dosa for my teammates." "Enjoy having rasam rice. I will be chilled out. No stress." The plot details about Raina's upcoming film are under wraps.
