God of Cricket, Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic, ‘Sachin: A Billion Dreams’ will hit theatres soon. The legendary cricketer is busy with the film’s Promotion. While a lot of his fans are happy that Sachin will be playing himself on screen but no one else, a thought was raised if not him then who would be?
When media asked Tendulkar about his role in the biopic, who among the Bollywood stars will suits him. Sachin’s quickly replied Aamir Khan. Sachin said,”Well, whenever I have asked journalists this, they have all named Aamir because there is direct connect. Aamir has done ‘Lagaan’ (2001film on a do-or-die cricket match). He’s a great actor and a wonderful person.”

He added that firstly he was sceptical with the idea of the film on him as he felt that he was not an actor but a sportsperson, he said,”My initial reaction was no. I said I can’t act, I don’t want to act; I am a sportsperson, not an actor. So, it took them a while to convince me and to let me know I have to act. Because everything in my life has been documented, there are no made-up stories. There is no way to rewrite a script to show I have made extra runs. They (makers) felt no one knows what went on in my mind during the highs and lows of my career. So, we needed to show that to as many guys as possible.”
Sachin: A Billion Dreams is set to hit the theatres on May 26, 2017.
