<p>On Sunday, a tweet on Gambhir's official handle read, "I don't believe in biopics on cricketers. I think those people who have contributed more to the country than the cricketers deserve a biopic. There are lots of people in the country who have done so many noble deeds for the nation. Therefore, biopics should be made on their lives."</p>

<p>Gautam Gambhir, then took to Twitter to clarify regarding the entire controversy saying that he is not against 'any one cricketer'.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

<p>Earlier, Gautam Gambhir stoked a fresh controversy asserting that films shouldn't be made on cricketers but on those people who have contributed for the welfare of the country and hence are more 'deserving' of biopics.</p>
<p>Ganbhir's comments were seen here as controversial considering they have been made barely days before the release of an eagerly-awaited biopic on the life of India's limited-overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.</p>
