Mahendra Singh Dhoni flew into Hyderabad along with wife Sakshi earlier this week. Though the visit was kept hush-hush, sources confirm that the couple was there to shoot for a twowheeler commercial. The skipper and his pretty wife were whisked away from the airport and put up at a city hotel. After checking in and resting for a bit, the duo travelled to an undisclosed location to shoot the ad film.

According to sources, the ad film was directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who are on a high, post the success of Shor: In the City. The commercial marks Sakshi’s acting debut and is the couple’s first endorsement together. “It’s a two wheeler commercial and Sakshi has been roped in for it as well. She is an extremely stylish girl and has a great face. Sakshi was excited to shoot for the commercial as she got to wear designer outfits,” a source reveals.

For the Indian skipper, who was rested for the ongoing series in West Indies, post the hectic World Cup 2011 campaign and the recently concluded IPL season 4, this trip provided a welcome break, adds the source. “The long cricketing season has been very tiring for Mahi. This was a nice break for him. He also had some other commitments to honour during his visit,” says the source.

Confirming the Ranchi lad’s presence in Hyderabad, his manager Yuddhajit Dutta said, “Yes, MSD and Sakshi were in Hyderabad for a private visit.”
