Cricketers’ turning to film actor is not a new phenomenon.Earlier we had cricketers like Ajay Jadeja and Salil Ankola who made a transition to films from the cricket field.
Now two more cricketers joined in the bandwagon
Veteran speed bowlers Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad are all set to make a cameo in a new Kannaad –telugu Bilingual film called ‘Sachin – Tendulkar Alla’.The film was launched on the 10th of February and the shooting is going on in and around Bangalore.
The film simultaneously releasing in Telugu as ‘sachin-tendulkar kadhu’
The film is about an autistic boy’s struggle to make it big in cricket.Sachin is being directed by Kannada film-maker Mohan Shankar, while well-known multilingual actress Suhasini Maniratnam, wife of ace film-maker Mani Ratnam, plays the role of the autistic boy’s mother.
In the film, Prasad plays the role of a cricket coach.Srinath, on the other hand, has lesser screen space and appears only in the second half of the movie.His role has been kept a secret.
While Prasad has already started shooting, Srinath’s portion will be shot later this month.
