Saiyami later posted the video on social media where she is seen saying, “What’s the one dream you had as a child that you never thought could come true? Mine was that someday I would get to meet my hero, my inspiration, my teacher. I have loved and learnt this game watching Sachin Tendulkar play. I’ve bunked college to watch him.” The actress added: “Unknowingly, he taught me how to live. When I began acting, my friends ragged me and said, ‘Ja ja, acting kar. Someday Sachin will watch your film’. And that became my goal. To work hard and hope that someday the Master will watch my work. And then, it happened, the ‘God of Cricket’ saw a film in which I play a cricketer. He asked me to show him how I bowled the Ghoomer ball. Dreams really do come true. This part of my life is called happiness.”

The film has been directed by R. Balki and also stars Abhishek Bachchan.
