A few days back, an image of two men, one holding a bat and another a mic, standing with their back to camera went viral. While the netizens were correctly able to guess the identity of the duo as Sachin Tendulkar and Sonu Nigam, the question that left us baffled was what the duo have in store on the public.
While there were rumours that the two legends might have collaborated for Sachin's upcoming film, that was not the case. As revealed by the cricketer later, the two have collaborated for a song for Sachin’s newly launched app called ‘100 MB’. Talking at the launch of his app, Master Blaster, as Sachin is fondly called said, “I’m a shy person by nature. It takes some time to change. That doesn’t mean I will not come out and talk. I’m still figuring out.”
Talking about his motivation behind launching the app, Sachin revealed, “This is something I am looking forward to in the digital world, to be closer to my fans. This app will guarantee that whatever I say reaches my fans. Through this app, my fans can directly connect with me. My views, whatever I post, are guaranteed of reaching all my fans. Whatever I am today is because of the fans. Whatever my videos, opinions, posts will reach my fans,” the actor further added.
When quizzed about his collaboration with Sonu Nigam, Sachin said, “I have always been fond of music. I never thought I would sing a song. My wife (Anjali) is the brain behind me singing this song. It was her idea. She was the only one who believed I could sing.”
Praising Sonu Nigam, Sachin further elaborated, “His commitment, his preparation, he worships music, that means a lot. Any passionate person does that. For us, it is cricket. For him, it is music. You ask anybody who has been top in his profession, he will be is passionate. It does not come on its own. It requires preparation.”
