“Thanks to the tax exemption in these states, many more people will be able to watch the inspiring story of Sachin Tendulkar, and learn from or about how he overcame the darker, more testing phases of his life,” he added.
Sachin: A Billion Dreams, directed by James Erskine, is about Tendulkar’s personal journey from a young boy to a cricketing icon.
The makers of the project, have also shot the film simultaneously in Marathi Language and Sachin has specially dubbed for this version. Taking from the fact that SachinTendulkar is a Maharashtrian, the makers were of the opinion that it would be justified if the film was shot in the same language. This news is surely going to serve as a pure treat to all the Maharashtrian fans out there, as they would get to witness Sachin talk through and through in Marathi!
It is scheduled to release on May 26.
