Sachin charges nothing for Sachin: A Billion Dreams'

Mumbai: After Captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s biopic opened to a thundering response at the box office, it is now time for the biopic of Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, the most respectable and widely followed sportsman, to hit the silver screen.

Sachin, who had started his cricketing career at the ripe age of 16, is a humble man with a heart of gold. Unlike Dhoni, who was paid handsomely for his biopic ‘M S Dhoni: The Untold Story’, Sachin was happy to give away intimate details of his glorious life without charging any fees for it. A source close to Tendulkar reportedly said that Sachin could not ‘dream of taking money’.

The source said, “The film is produced by Sachin’s friend Ravi Bhagchandka. Sachin couldn’t dream of charging any money from him.”

Not only did Sachin say yes to this movie, the master blaster went out of his way to persuade his son, Arjun Tendulkar, to play the younger version of him in his biopic.

The source added, “Not only did Sachin agree to open up about his life’s experiences to the team, he also persuaded his son to play the young Sachin on screen.”

The teaser of the film was released on YouTube on 14th April this year. So far, four posters have been released and the teaser alone has been viewed more than 5 million times.

Here are some of the posters from the legend's yet-to-be released biopic:
