He was a dangerous bowler": Sachin Tendulkar talks about Muttiah Muralitharans doosra at 800 trailer launch

5 Sep 2023

Sachin Tendulkar, who unveiled the trailer of Sri Lanka cricketer Muttiah Muralitharans biopic film titled 800 praised the player for his dedication and revealed how he mastered his famous 'doosra' bowling style.Sachin Tendulkar and former Sri Lankan all-rounder Sanath Jayasuriya unveiled the official trailer in Mumbai.During the grand trailer launch, Sachin Tendulkar shared stories about Muralitharan and how he met the player.Sachin Tendulkar said, " First of all, I'm here to wish my dear friend Murali all the very best. Because this movie, this biopic, people need to know what happened in his life. I remember meeting him for the first time in 1993. But, you know, we continue to be good friends."He added, "Coincidentally, I was in Sri Lanka this last month. And I messaged Murali that I'm in your beautiful city. Where are you? He said, 'I'm in India'. What are you doing in Sri Lanka? And that's how, you know, I'm here. He spoke to me for the first time about his biopic. And he said, 'Would you be able to come for the event?' I said, 'Anytime for you.' It's so humble. It's so simple in spite of achieving so much in life, it's impossible to refuse it.Tendulkar also spoke about the bowling style of Muralitharan, "There are not going to be good times every time you go out, there are going to be ups and downs, there are going to be disappointments. But from those disappointments, how do you rise back, get on your feet and start competing that makes you a real sportsman and exactly that is what he possessed. He just loved bowling but the whole world knew that he had a big turn. No matter how the surface is, Murali is going to turn the ball and he did not rely only on that, just with that turn itself he was a dangerous bowler because in our meetings we would discuss for hours on end, how to tackle him, what are the signals to pick, all those things but he kept reinventing himself. I am still figuring it out. "To which Muralitharan stated, "See, some players read, I know he read me very well, not many people can do but Lara had success, but he never read me either. I don't know what the mechanism is but he read me and also a few people I know. I know Rahul Dravid, he is one of the greatest players but he never read me. I knew that. Sachin, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambir some players read and some played on that. Definitely, I am saying he read me. Some play differently because legends like him watch from the seam of the ball from the hand itself. Some people read you at the pitch.Tendulkar shared the story of how Muralidharan prepared his famous 'doosra' before using it in international cricket.He added, Like he said very few read him but in that also he wanted to develop more things. If I am not mistaken he developed doosra in the late 90s. The story that I heard through Harbhajan Singh. He had learned to throw 'doorsa' long ago but he was practicing in the net. So, for 18 months, he continued practising 'doosra' in the nets before he bowled a first ball in the internationals.Tendulkar also said, I am so happy that I am able to spend time with them. The best part is after so many years we continue to be such good friends, and we enjoy each others' company. And today, we are on this special occasion where your biopic trailer is released. I am sure everyone is gonna watch the movie. So will I.Coming back to the biopic '800', Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' actor Madhurr Mittal will be seen portraying the role of the legendary Sri Lankan spinner in his biopic.Written and directed by MS Sripathy, the film will be released in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.Taking to X (formerly Twitter), trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the video and wrote, SACHIN TENDULKAR UNVEILS TRAILER OF MUTHIAH MURALIDARAN BIOPIC 800... 6 OCT RELEASE #SachinTendulkar unveiled the trailer of the #MuthiahMuralidaran biopic, titled 800 [#800TheMovie] #SanathJayasuriya was also present at the event. #MadhurrMittal - who won acclaim for his performance in the #Oscar-winning film #SlumdogMillionaire - enacts the part of #Muralidaran in the biopic.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar praises Saiyami Kher for her bowling skills

22 Aug 2023

Saiyami Kher, legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has always remained her inspiration and now the Ghoomer actor has shared a video with the master blaster in which she can be seen impressing him with her bowling talent.The actor took to her Instagram handle and wrote in the caption along with the video, Whats the one dream you had as a child that you never thought could never come true? Mine was that someday, I would get to meet @sachintendulkar my hero, my inspiration, my teacher. I have loved and learnt this game watching him play. Ive bunked college to watch him play. Ive had the loudest Sachinnn Sachhhin chant in the North Stand. So, I cant seem to explain what this means to me.She added how the great cricketer motivated her in life to never give up and work hard to achieve the target. His 136 at Chennai, the Sharjah Storm, 241 at Sydney, 98 vs Pakistan, the list is endless. He gave me joy, he taught me how to fight, he taught me passion, how to never give up, how to work hard, and how to stay grounded. Unknowingly, he taught me how to live.When I began acting, my friends ragged me and said, Ja ja, acting kar. Someday Sachin will watch your film. And that became my goal. To work hard and hope that someday the Master will watch my work. And then, it happened, the God of Cricket saw a film in which I play a cricketer. The God of Cricket asked me to show him how I bowled the Ghoomer, she shared.She concluded, Dreams really do come true. This. This part of my life is called happiness.Earlier, Sachin shared his views about the film in a video that he posted on his social media handle. He wrote in the caption, "Really enjoyed watching #Ghoomer by #RBalki. It was truly inspirational and should be watched by all youngsters. @bachchan was fantastic as the Coach, @saiyami looked very authentic, her love for Cricket and her ability to understand the character was amazing. @angadbedi was perfect as her constant support and @azmishabana18 jis one-liners made my day. Simply loved the film."Helmed by the acclaimed director R Balki, Ghoomer stars Abhishek BachchanSaiyami Kher, Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi in the lead roles.

Saiyami Kher thankful to R Balki for giving her opportunity to be part of Ghoomer

20 Aug 2023

She continued to share, I was the junglee girl who would bash up boys in school. Who could eat grilled chicken every day. Who aspired to be ambidextrous, because my icon, Sachin Tendulkar was. Who would spend hours in my parents restaurant trying to make a Rumali roti fly in the air. Whose life revolved around her grandmother. Whose most prized possession was a store-bought Indian cricket jersey. Who hoped that someday, she wouldnt need to buy it. And that, maybe, one day, it would bear her name. Sadly, that magical moment never came for me.But I did what I could to create glimpses of that magic in my life. When I was batting, running, swimming, or smashing a shuttle, I was happy. We cant pour from an empty cup. So I filled it up to the brim with sport. This athlete image didnt go with what a conventional heroine was meant to be. Instead of filling the cup, I was told to empty the vessel out of everything it contains. How do I become someone else if I am still holding on to what I am? So pour it all out, she added.While being thankful to the director, she mentioned, And Balki gave me that. This film has my blood, sweat, tears, and heart. Anina is me, I am Anina. The palindrome extends beyond just a play on the name.Saiyami thanked filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for bringing back her confidence and Balki for giving her the opportunity, To @anuragkashyap10 who filled my head with logic and brought back my confidence. To Balki, who filled my life up with magic by giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity. To AB who taught me kindness.To Shabana Maushi who showed me the importance of family. And to Angad, my first friend in the industry; thank you. To spending a year with one hand tied up. And to realizing that were stronger than what we think we think we are. To believing in oneself. To Ghoomer, concluded Kher.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Saiyami Kher (@saiyami)After her post, Abhishek Bachchan responded, You deserve every bit of it and more! Well done and congratulations on a triumph of a performance.Veteran actor Shabana Azmi also commented, Saiyam this is so beautifully expressed .. because its straight from the heart.It made me understand you a little more.It made me you love you a lot more.Bless you my darlingHelmed by the acclaimed director R Balki, the film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher, Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi in the lead roles.Abhishek plays the role of a coach whose life takes an unexpected turn when he meets a paraplegic athlete, played by Saiyami Kher. Their journey together takes place against the backdrop of societal issues and personal struggles, all while being guided by filmmaker R Balki's remarkable storytelling talent.
