Exclusive: Sachin Tendulkar's biopic shot in his real house and colony

Sachin is definitely a cricket god in a land where the sport is looked at as a religion rather than a game. So it is only natural that there is a lot of buzz around the upcoming documentary on his journey, Sachin: A Billion Dreams.

Authenticity has been the watchword as far as the film is concerned with no actor playing Sachin’s role, and now we hear that even some of the locations where the film has been shot are real. The part, which shows a young Sachin growing up in his Mumbai home, for instance, is shot at the cricketer’s childhood home.

A source close to the film says, “The colony that has been featured is Sachin’s real colony and Sachin's real house. It’s the cricketers house in Dadar, Sahitya Sahawas housing society”

Produced by Ravi Bhagchandka of 200 Not Out and Shrikant Bhasi of Carnival Motion Pictures, and helmed by Emmy-nominated James Erskine, Sachin: A Billion Dreams is all set to release on May 26, 2017.
