Sachin Tendulkar’s biographical film titled Sachin: A Billion Dreams is all set for release tomorrow and the excitement in the air is palpable. The film which is described as a Docu-drama promises to turn cinema theaters into cricket stadiums. Sachin: A Billion Dreams, as the trailer suggests will narrate the entire graph of Sachin’s life starting from his childhood as a determined boy with aspirations to play cricket for the country, the superstitions he developed over the years, his personal life including his love story, down up to his farewell from the Indian national cricket team. The film promises a peak into some not so well known aspects of his illustrious life.
The excitement for Sachin’s film is not limited to the common man who looks up to the legend, but our bollywood celebrities too can’t seem to contain their excitement about the film. Some of them shared some interesting anecdotes about their love and admiration for Sachin. Let’s take a look:
AAMIR KHAN, the perfectionist shared his favorite Sachin moment, when the latter watched a screening of Lagaan and roles were reversed. Aamir who has been a fan of the cricketer from his early days and has cheered for him ever since, was touched to see Sachin Tendulkar watching his film and cheering for him while he played cricket. Aamir describes the moment as ‘unreal’ and this memory is etched in his heart ever since.
