Sachin to appear in film on Lord Ganesha


Mumbai: Ending the speculation on his entry into Bollywood, batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday said he will appear in a documentary film on Lord Ganesha and not in a Bollywood feature film as widely reported earlier.

"I will not feature in a Bollywood film but like others will share my views on Lord Ganesha in a documentary. There were misunderstandings about my role in the film, but now they are cleared," Tendulkar said.

Media reports had claimed that Tendulkar would feature in a Bollywood film based on Lord Ganesha titled "Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak".

"One really feels peaceful while visiting a temple and I would share my views on Siddhivinayak," said the champion batsman, who is an ardent devotee of the elephant god and visits the famous Siddhivinayak temple in Prabhadevi whenever he gets an opportunity.

"It was not necessary that one visits or remembers 'Ganapati Bappa' only during the 10-day Ganesh festival as the Lord resides in every heart.

"When we are on field we also pray, but the atmosphere during the festival is different," he added.
