New Delhi: A rather reticent Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday reacted to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan tweet, wishing the batting great all the best ahead of the release of bipoc 'Sachin: A Billion Dreams'.

In his own inimitable way, the Bollywood superstar on Wednesday wished Tendulkar for his upcoming film, which elicited a philosophical response from the cricket legend.

Tendulkar, 43, rarely shows his emotions, but today, he gave a glimpse of his philosophical side while responding to the gesture of extremely popular actor.

With both the superstars commanding huge fan support respectively, their exchange was received with love by fans.

The biopic will be released worldwide on May 26 and celebrities across various walks of life have been wishing the cricket legend on social media.

The trailer of the much awaited biopic was released last Thursday in Mumbai. In February, the 43-year-old announced the release date of his film. The poster/teaser of the film was released in April last year.

The movie is directed by James Erskine and produced by Ravi Bhagchandka and Carnival Motion Pictures. The music has been played by AR Rahman.

'Sachin: A Billion Dreams' is expected to break all movie records in India, and it is the third movie released in recent times which are based on an Indian cricketer. 'Azhar' and 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story' have previously showcased the lives of former India captains Mohammad Azharuddin and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
