every time he walks out there because he has done almost everything-Kumar Sangakkara

planned. Sachin did try telling me that it would be difficult but I insisted that he come along. Tomake sure nobody recognised him we even got him a beard. He wore specs as well and we went

halfway- Anjali Tendulkar couldn't watch the second half of the movie with her better half
