Mumbai: Sachin: A Billion Dreams, based on the life of cricket's living legend Sachin Tendulkar, is set to release tomorrow across 2,800 screens.
"We are releasing the film across 2,800 screens out of which 2,450 are in India. It's first of its kind film being made in India -- a docu-drama feature film that too on a celebrated personality like Sachin Tendulkar we are hopeful the audience will like to see his journey on screen," Anil
Thadani, who is distributing the film, told PTI.
Akshay Radhika, film exhibitor, said, "Sachin is a demi god and there is so much buzz around his film that the expectations are definitely high from the film. But it's a docu drama, a first of its kind being made, so we are being optimistic and hoping it will do well."
Distributor Rajesh Thadani feels the film will definitely do well commercially.
"Considering 'Sachin mania' the film will surely do well commercially as there is lot of curiosity about the film. It will break records in the biopic space. It should do a business anywhere between Rs 10-15 crore on day one," he adds.
