Being a Sachin fan myself, I am extremely proud that I have managed to pay a worthy tribute to the man who taught us so much more than the game.”
The film marks Unacademy’s association with Tendulkar and celebrates the ‘never give up’ spirit by commemorating some of the most challenging times of the veteran cricketer’s career and his subsequent triumphs. Almost towards the end of the film, the screen changes to read, ‘Failure. The fuel of champions.’ Being an education platform, Unacademy drives a message with the film that failures must be looked upon as stepping stones to success.
