Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) turned down a request from the makers of the film for a discount on Tendulkar’s videos. “The BCCI has a policy in place. The board didn’t give concession to Dhoni for his biopic then how can board change its rules for Tendulkar’s biopic. After all it’s a commercial movie, which is going to be shown in theatres. Already the trailer that they released has got more than a million hits. The board’s stance was also informed to the Committee of Administrators,” a BCCI official had told Indian Express.
