Sachin A Billion Dreams: Mikhail Gandhi played young Sachin Tendulkar. This is where you have seen him before, watch videos

Mikhail Gandhi got to meet Sachin Tendulkar at the screening of Sachin: A Billions Dreams in Mumbai recently.

Nothing can beat the aura of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. But there was a certain someone who, if not surpassed, at least managed to come at par with the iconic sportsperson in his biopic, Sachin: A Billion Dreams. No, it wasn’t any other cricketer, or anyone from Sachin’s life who spoke about him in the docu-drama. It was little Mikhail Gandhi who played the young Sachin, probably the one of the only actors in the film, which otherwise had real people talking on camera.

Was it Mikhail’s cuteness or his confidence in front of the lens that cliched it? This boy surely has a long way to go. But who is Mikhail Gandhi? Does his face look familiar? Where have you seen him before? It’s absolutely fine if these questions came in your mind while watching the film. Mikhail is indeed not new to the archlights. He has been around for a long time as a child actor. Just that you don’t really remember.
