Aamir Khan to play Sachin Tendulkar in biopic?

Aamir Khan

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli has said that a biopic should be made on legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and that Aamir Khan should play the lead role.

Times Of India reports Kohli saying that the biopic should trace Sachin’s journey, his magnificent career and his bond with his teammates. It said, “While we think Sachin has inspired many young boys to follow their dreams, we do agree that a movie on Sachin is something our filmmakers should consider. And with all the frenzy around his retirement, this movie will surely be a blockbuster. However, it is going to be a Herculean task to find an actor who can do complete justice to bring Sachin live onscreen. The actor will have to not only impersonate his perfection, dedication and mastery of the game, but will also have to bring out qualities like humility and modesty to the fore.”

The report adds that while Shah Rukh Khan could be a good choice after his hockey coach role in ‘Chak De India, Farhan Akhtar may also have an advantage after the success of ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’. However, Aamir Khan is looking the firm favourite to bag the role.
