Sachin Tendulkar’s biopic Sachin: A Billion Dreams is all set to hit the screens this Friday. The Master Blaster tells us what made him share his memories and milestones on reel...
What inspired you to do this docufeature, Sachin: A Billion Dreams?
I am a private person. When Ravi (Bhagchandka, producer) came to me with this idea, my initial reaction was ‘no I can’t act.’ I’m a sportsman and I will always be one. I told him I didn’t want to act. It took them a while to convince me. It was a story that needed to be told as my fans had not seen many facets of me.
What were the challenges you faced while making this film?
Once a sportsperson always a sportsperson. Through this movie, I was able to relive the best moments of my life and career. Ravi, James (Erskine, director) and the entire team have worked tirelessly and weaved their magic in Sachin: A Billion Dreams. The feature covers my career. Those facts can’t change. But we wanted to give something more for the audience to take back. The question also was how much we were at ease to share. So as a family, we discussed things and agreed upon those parts of our lives that we were comfortable about being out there in the open.
You come across as a shy person. Will we get to see your emotional side too?
We have added rare footage of my life. It will give audiences a new perspective to me as a person. Whatever is shown in the movie is more of what was going on in my mind during the highs and lows of my life, which no one knows about, except me.
