Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is now playing the last test match (200) of his career at Wankhede in Mumbai. As he retires from his cricket career, several rumours about a biopic on him are doing rounds in different film industries in India. But a fresh buzz from Tollywood is that Akkineni Nagarjuna is planning to make a film on this legendary cricketer, which is said to be the second film of his son Akhil Akkineni.

It is being rumoured in Tollywood circle that Nagarjuna has decided to do a biopic on Sachin Tendulkar and release it in all Indian languages. This movie will be a big-budget film and the King will produce it with a hefty sum under his home banner Annapurna Studios. He reportedly wants to rope in his son Akhil for the lead role in it. Akhil himself is a cricket player and was seen playing matches in CCL. He is also a huge fan of Sachin.

Meanwhile, there are a few reports that AR Murugadoss is also planning a Hindi biopic on Sachin Tendulkar, but it is not known whom he is going to rope in for the lead roles. Some expert feel that Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan expressed his desire to play the role. Having worked with him in Ghajini, the director would be happy to work with him.

But the speculations on the biopic on Sachin Tendulkar have raised several questions in the minds of the cricketer's fans. Will the biopic fall in place? If yes, who will produce it? Will Nagarjuna and AR Murugadoss join hands for this mega project? Who will play the Master Blaster in it? Only time will answer all these questions.

I will miss Sachin. There were instances when I flew to watch matches only for Sachin's performance. I am busy with Masala and that is why I couldn't make it for this match. Not just me, every cricket fan loves to watch sachin's play. Though I am busy with Masala promotions, I will definitely make to the ongoing match one day. We should be thankful for having him on the field for so long.

Cricket without Sachin Tendulkar can never be a complete experience. I am lucky to share a good bonding with him. We both batted together and shared dressing room while playing for a promotional match. I have made all the arrangements to watch live on my shooting sets.

As far as my hindsight is concerned, Sachin is beyond the game of cricket. And I'm not worried about his score in last match byt I'm pretty much anticipated to see Sachin on field for one last time.

Kajal Aggarwal

Entire nation is eyeing on Sachinand his last match. Like every other cricket fan, I am also looking forward to catch Tendulkar play for one last time.

Manchu Vishnu

We specifically divide cricket into eras - Pre-Sachin and Post-Sachin. I am lucky to watch Sachin's action in live. Like NTR for Telugu Film Industry, Sachin for Cricket.

Cricket cannot be defined without referring Sachin Tendulkar's name. Despite having fans worldwide, the simplicity and humbleness of Tendulkar has an impact on me. It's so sad to miss the little master and he is irreplaceable.
