- The hairstyle of Dhoni was matched to perfection by SSR. Dhoni's hairstyle was a prime factor for his popularity in his initial days as a cricketer, and Sushant made sure that sort of aura was created even for his hairstyle right before the release of the movie.

- Sushant's dialect was another huge plus point for  making his character memorable. You could not tell in even a single scene that Sushant wasn't someone born and brought up in the Eastern states. His accent was that accurate.

- Lastly, managing the calmness of Dhoni was a big task for Sushant. SSR is generally known to be a bit of restless guy in real life. However while promoting Dhoni - The Untold Story, Sushant had this subtle and noticeable calmness around him throughout. Obviously, he had imbibed from the master cricketer himself. And not just in the promotions, even during the shoot of the film, Sushant was an epitome of calmness; the film's director Neeraj Pandey verified that point in many interviews he gave around the film.
