Aamir to play Sachin in biopic?

By Saumesh Thimbath

All eyes are set on one big event this week, an event that makes even the best in bollywood leave their priorities and jump off to Wankhede. Sachin’s retirement from cricket has created a buzz like no other with stars like Aamir Khan and Hritik Roshan finding a place among the crowds that has come to watch the maestro’s parting streak.

Aamir Khan was full of praise for the Little Master and postponed the audio launch of his upcoming movie, Dhoom 3, as he wants to watch Sachin bat. And at the stadium, the actor was even spotted wearing the blue t-shirt which he considers lucky. Aamir has reportedly made public his wish to play Sachin if a biopic is ever made. If these are anything to go by, it wouldn’t be too long before one sees Aamir playing Sachin onscreen.

Well, what are the odds? Aamir has height on his side but not age, as the cricketer is eight years younger than him. 

We don’t usually find an elder actor playing a younger character at least in biopics (but this is irrelevant if Aamir draws enough inspiration from some superstars down south!) Both Sachin and Aamir are known to be ‘intelligent’ gentlemen in their respective fields, which could work in Aamir’s favour. What would the makers title it? How about ‘Taare Pitch Par’ or ‘Stumps Se Stumps Thak’?
