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.

Zindagi me haar na hoti to koi kabhi jeet ta nahi aur kuch seekhta bhi nahi. Touched by your words like a billion others, love u @iamsrk :-) https://t.co/zsjDfStHQY

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.
