Ranveer Singh greets cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali Tendulkar at 120 Bahadur screening

Mumbai witnessed a dazzling convergence of India's favorite passions, cricket and cinema, as Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and his wife, Anjali Tendulkar, stepped out to attend the special screening of the highly anticipated film, 120 Bahadur. Adding to the star power was Bollywood's livewire, Ranveer Singh, whose presence turned the event into a truly memorable affair.

The screening, held in Mumbai, was a glamorous prelude to the official release of the Farhan Akhtar-starrer, a war drama based on the heroic Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 Sino-Indian War. The film, which promises a gripping and emotional tribute to the courage of the Indian Armed Forces, naturally drew attention from influential figures across various fields, including the cricketing legend himself.

Sachin Tendulkar, a man whose life story, much like the heroic tales depicted in the film, is one of unwavering courage and commitment, arrived looking sharp and understated, accompanied by his wife, Anjali Tendulkar. Their presence underscored the profound respect that the nation’s heroes, both on and off the field, hold for the sacrifices made by the armed forces.

The moment that truly captivated onlookers and photographers was the warm interaction between the Tendulkars and the dynamic actor, Ranveer Singh. Ranveer, known for his infectious energy and his own work in a celebrated cricket biopic, '83, was seen chatting and sharing a light moment with the couple. The photo opportunity captured by the media perfectly encapsulated the seamless blend of India's biggest icons from sports and entertainment, all united in their support for a patriotic cinematic endeavor.

120 Bahadur tells the true story of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati and his unit of 120 soldiers who fought valiantly against overwhelming Chinese forces. The film's themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and indomitable spirit resonate deeply with the ethos that Sachin Tendulkar himself embodied throughout his illustrious career. The attendance of such high-profile figures serves as a significant endorsement, highlighting the film’s importance in documenting a pivotal moment in Indian military history.
