Sachin Tendulkar headed to Bollywood?

By Hindustan Times

Sachin Tendulkar may soon be seen dancing around trees as opposed to swinging his bat at the field. Rumours are rife that the Little Master, who recently completed his 100th ODI century, is prepared to make his big screen debut in filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Ferrari Ki Sawari. And, author Shobhaa De’s tweet suggests it can be greater than only a special appearance.

“There’s a definite impression that Sachint is preparing for a brand new innings. In Bollywood. Fans can be over the moon if that happens,” De tweeted on Friday. After we asked her about it, she said, “I’ve just said that it’s an impression. It’s a remark made by Vidhu Vinod Chopra that he's seeking to ask him to do a cameo, nevertheless it may transform nothing greater than that. Sachin might even take a look at it from a major standpoint and if that happens, it’ll be great.” Sachin’s fans are ecstatic. Director Anees Bazmee says, “I’d like to see him in movies ... I’m sure he’ll do good.”

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, however, says, “Let us be masters of our own field... Are you able to imagine Salman Khan hitting a century?” Cricketers who tried their hand at acting and failed include Sunil Gavaskar and Ajay Jadeja.
