SRK calls cricketer Sachin his ‘guiding light’

BOLLYWOOD superstar Shah Rukh Khan has wished luck to cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar for his upcoming biopic Sachin: A Billion Dreams and called him his “guiding light”.

“I believed when you did well, I would too and when you didn’t, I will fail. Like a billion others I miss my guiding light. All the best for the film,” Shah Rukh tweeted on Wednesday.

Responding to that, Sachin tweeted, “Zindagi me haar na hoti to koi kabhi jeet ta nahi aur kuch seekhta bhi nahi (Had there been no loss, nobody would’ve won and learned anything). Touched by your words like a billion others.”

Sachin: A Billion Dreams, a docu-feature, has been directed by London-based writer-filmmaker James Erskine.

It will capture the phenomenal rise of Tendulkar. It will have aspects of his life which have never been seen before.

Old footage of Tendulkar playing cricket and some landmark events will be woven into the movie, which aims to tell the the story of the cricketer’s journey from childhood to legend.

The film will be released on May 26.
