People who had bought homes and invested in Amrapali group had earlier complained and demanded MS Dhoni to break association from the real estate firm. Dhoni's wife Sakshi Rawat was also a Managing Director in the Amrapali Group charity operations.

Rhiti Sports, the company that manages cricketing stars including Dhoni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and South African Francois Du Plessi, had also filed a recovery suit in the Delhi High Court against Amrapali last year. “They haven't given us money for branding and marketing activities,” said Arun Pandey, Chairman and MD of Rhiti Sports.

Dhoni was the brand ambassador of Amrapali for the past 6-7 years. He resigned as brand ambassador of the realty firm in April 2016, days after being trolled on social media by residents of an Amrapali housing project who were angry over the unfinished work. The residents had tagged Dhoni in their tweets, asking him to either dissociate himself from the builder or make sure that they complete the pending work.
