RELEASE A LOWKEY AFFAIR

In what was a lowkey affair, the trailer of ‘Sachin – A Billion Dreams’ was launched here on Thursday, at the auditorium of a suburban multiplex in Mumbai. There weren’t any celebrities present at the event apart from Sachin Tendulkar, his wife Anjali Tendulkar and the support staff of the upcoming movie.

It portrays Tendulkar’s journey over the years, from his days at Sahitya Sahawas in Bandra East to him lifting the World Cup. The trailer starts with two young kids sharing their bit of mischief with an irate father vividly upset with the acts. A voiceover soon follows it with Tendulkar stating: “I was only 10-years-old when India first won the World Cup. And that’s where my journey began. Even I wanted to hold the trophy one day.”

Usually known to be a very private person, Tendulkar’s family life has also been portrayed in the movie with him being shown to bowl at his son Arjun Tendulkar at the nets and sharing a few moments with his wife Anjali. Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni also features in the trailer. “I would tell people you know… When Sachin comes into bat, please let me know,” Dhoni says with a smile. Tendulkar credits the 2011 World Cup win as the highest point of his career.
