The trailer of the film on Tendulkar, which will release worldwide on May 26, was and celebrities across various walks of life have been wishing the cricket legend on social media.
And Sachin has been responding with personalised messages to every celeb. Sometimes his responses are witty, on other occassions they have a personal connection and many times just that attention to detail that he is famous for.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan wished Sachin for his upcoming film in his own unique way and elicited a witty response from the cricket legend.

"I believed, when u did well I would 2 & when u didn't,I will fail. Like a billion others I miss my guiding light. ATB for the film," Shah Rukh tweeted.
