Sachin Tendulkar Saw Sachin- A Billion Dreams More Than 15 Times Before Release

Did you know Sachin Tendulkar dubbed for the film Sachin: A Billion dreams in three different languages?

New Delhi: That Sachin Tendulkar is possibly one of the greatest cricketers India has produced is stale news. But did you know that he dubbed for his movie Sachin: A Billion dreams – in three different languages, namely Marathi, Hindi and English. The movie made by Ravi Bhagchandka was the first of sorts sports movie, given that it had no frills of a typical Hindi potboiler. And that, we hear was one of the conditions on which the Master Blaster agreed to allow the movie to be produced. Apparently, the producer chased Sachin for a good eight months till the 'God of Cricket' finally gave him the go-ahead. While Ravi Bhagchandka was unavailable to comment, we heard that during the dubbing of the movie, Sachin Tendulkar developed cough and a severe sore throat. (What else can one expect after dubbing in three different languages), but the Master Blaster did not quibble. He simply gulped down cups of green tea and hot water and just  like on the field, he kept his composure and  stayed at the job. Wait, there are some more beans to spill  -  we can bet you have never heard before – that Sachin saw his own movie a mighty 15 times or more before it hit the theatres. This, we are told is because of the excessive dubbing and also because of the purist that he is – he just had to  make sure that every sound and visual matched perfectly. Here's wishing Sachin Tendulkar a very happy birthday!
