Sachin Tendulkar's biopic 'Sachin: A Billion Dreams', is all set to release this Friday. The legend has been constantly speaking to the media about the film.
"I am used to seeing myself on a big screen inside the stadium, not inside a movie theatre," Tendulkar told AFP on the movie. The film directed by British filmmaker James Erskine is said to have taken four years in the making and captures details of his private life.
“Being a private person I always believed I should let my bat do the talking, stay focused on the game and give all my energy over there," he further said in an interview.
"There are personal moments in the film and some family footage. I know fans want to see something more than what they have in the last 24 years.
"Nobody knows what was going on in my mind at that time so we have spoken a lot about highs and lows and the line between me, my family and fans," he went on to add.
Apart from match footage, the film has interviews with present and past Indian cricketers, including Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Erskine, who is a renowned sports filmmaker, told AFP, "You might know the stats, you might know how he performed in certain matches, but you don't know what happens when he goes off-stage, in his house -- his private life, his hopes, dreams, his highs and sorrows.”
"You know little of his family except perhaps their names. This film really is the story of the man, and while cricket is a huge part of his life, it is just one chapter," Erskine added.
