Sachin: A Billion Dreams helped the man revisit some of his best moments in life

Arguably the most celebrated cricketer of all time Sachin Tendulkar’s autobiographical documentary Sachin: A Billion Dreams is all set to hit the theatres on 26th May and it is expected to break many records in the box office. It will be a big opportunity for his fans to relive his journey from being a mischievous curly haired kid to becoming the greatest ever batsman.

The legendary batsman himself revealed that the shooting of the movie made him relive some key moments in his life and share them with his fans who has been a huge part of his illustrious journey. The film is expected to reveal some minute details of Tendulkar’s life which we might not have known before.

“This film has helped me relive the important moments of my life through its making. I remain a private person but realised that there is much I have not revealed or spoken about to those who have been instrumental to my life and career, especially the fans.

“I hope the film will be yet another avenue for fans who have showered their love and blessings on me to cherish the journey that we undertook together for over 24 years,” Sachin told reporters during a promotional event in London. The film has been directed by James Erskine and it also includes MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag who has given some terrific insights into Tendulkar’s life and legacy.

Erskine said it was an honour to be directing the story of a sports legend like Tendulkar. “Directing the film was a wonderful experience. Coming from the UK, I knew that Sachin was a cricketing legend but, even then, it was an eye-opener to see the adoration and respect that Sachin commands across the globe,” the award-winning director said.

The director revealed he had interacted with the man himself and also his family and other fellow cricketers to get insights into his life. “Sachin is both gracious and a perfectionist, and being able to make this film for the Indian people and much more across the globe was a true honour,” Erskine said.
