Vault Release of Rare Tendulkar Footage Available via Marron Media

Australian agency acquires right to represent rare archive footage and full-length film, Tendulkar at 25

Marron Media today announced their appointment to exclusively represent the release of rare archival footage of Indian cricketing legend, Sachin Tendulkar. The extensive footage, shot as part of Tendulkar’s first ever official biopic which made Indian television ratings history at the time, is a library of 12 hours much of which is previously unreleased and unseen. The available material has been repackaged for digital and television release into a 14 part capsules series (97 minutes) and also features the original hit documentary Tendulkar at 25 (53 minutes). This landmark documentary aired in India in 1998 as a national tribute to mark Sachin’s quarter century birthday celebrations and its re-release comes ahead of his upcoming 50th birthday.

Filmed both in-studio, and on-location, the archival vault release includes up close and personal interviews with Tendulkar, key family members including wife Anjali, late father Ramesh, and brothers Nitin and Ajit who nostalgically recount the first time Sachin ever picked up a cricket bat. In what will be a shock to die-hard Tendulkar fans, Tendulkar even discusses his doubts about ever making it to international cricket.
