“When I decided to do this movie, first thought was that 1st screening should be for Indian Armed forces: Tendulkar #SachinABillionDreams.”
But fans were not pleased, as they believed that this is just a promotional stunt carried out for the movie. Many people took to Twitter, as they called this a shameful act of self propaganda.

Several people also complained that Sachin should not waste time in promoting his film, but rather start attending the Parliament more regularly. There were also some people who claimed that Sachin was simply being selfish. They said that he never helped the army in times of need, but was using them right now for selfish purposes.
While we must respect each individual’s opinion, it is surprising to see this level of animosity towards one of the most respected individuals in the country. Surely, this is just a small minority that has been vocal in their criticism towards the great man.
