The production house has also created a network of various cricket boards to accommodate the video from the past few innings to include in the movie.
Sachin Tendulkar
James Erskine has directed many films including a cricket film “From the Ashes”. During the football world cup of 2010, James directed the film “One Night in Turin” related to this sport. He has made many incredible movies related to sports personalities and this is the reason why he has been chosen by 200 Not Out to produce this film. This is the first time that he will be working in India.
Filmmakers have claimed that the film will cover many incidents of Tendulkar’s life which are never heard before. Aspects like his early life living in the suburbs of the Mumbai city, school, marriage, etc. will be phrased along with his cricket career.
Founder of 200 Not Out Ravi Bhagchandka stated that “People around the globe and future generation would love to know about Tendulkar-era in the cricket world and someone must capture these memories ”. Sachin Tendulkar approved this feature film and agreed to act in it which turned this idea into a reality.
