Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar quoted a well liked dialogue of Amitabh Bachchan’s movie Agneepath to congratulate the actor on being nominated for Dadasahed Phalke Award recently.
Congratulating the actor on being named for the prestigious award, Sachin Tendulkar tweeted “Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Poora Naam. Baap Ka Naam Dinanath Chauhan, Maa Ka Naam Suhasini Chauhan. Gaon Mandwa. Umar 36..." a line that gives me goosebumps even today!
May you continue to win hearts across the globe, Amit ji. #DadaSahebPhalkeAward”.
