A billion dreams: It’s yesterday once again for nervous Sachin
Long before the Master Blaster arrived at the auditorium of the suburban multiplex where the trailer of his biopic ‘Sachin - A billion dreams’ was to be released, shouts of ‘Sachin Sachin’ had already been reverberating inside the hall. To add to the noise quotient, whistles had been handed out to complement those cheers in the packed auditorium.
The excitement finally reached its peak when the legend himself entered the auditorium. Dressed in semi-formal attire, Tendulkar walked in to a rapturous welcome; just like those days when the Indian crowd stood up and waited anxiously at the fall of the second wicket.
“I feel as nervous as during my first press conference in 1992,” Tendulkar said. “Till then, I had no idea of how press conferences were conducted, what happened in there and I kept asking a lot of guys in the dressing room on what was it all about. They scared me even more, stating that there would be a number of questions asked and that’s what I’m feeling at the moment. But this is special.”
NO QUESTIONS
However, he didn’t have to face a single question from the scribes. Instead, he interacted with Vikram Sathaye the host and author of ‘How Sachin Destroyed My Life’ and left after spending around 15 minutes. Along with him on the stage were director James Erskine and producer Ravi Bhagchandka.
While they opened up on their experiences, Sachin spoke about the movie, due to be released on May 26.
“This movie is not just about my cricket. There are other chapters of my life as well. I never thought something like this is going to happen in my life. All I wanted to do was to pick up a bat and play cricket for India. That was my dream,” he said.
He also took a walk down memory lane and shared a few childhood memories
