Sachin Tendulkar is highly regarded in the sports industry, but few people know that the legendary cricketer dubbed for his sports biography film, Sachin: A Billion Dreams in three different languages himself. He lent his voice for the Marathi, Hindi and English versions of the film that was made by Ravi Bhagchandka. This movie is the first sports film to have no frills of a typical Hindi potboiler and that was one of the conditions that Sachin Tendulkar had placed before he gave his nod for the film to happen.
