Terming it as “the most inspiring cricket story ever told”, actor Shreyas Talpade released the trailer of his new film Kaun Praveen Tambe on his social media platform.
The film is based on the extraordinary story of an underdog cricketer Praveen Tambe. Overcoming all odds, Praveen made his league debut at the age of 41 without having played any international or first-class cricket before.
Shreyas, who will be playing the protagonist, shared the trailer on his Instagram page and wrote, “’Bas ek aur over’, karte karte duniya ki sabse badi league tak pahunch gaye! Wah Pravin Tambe, kya story hai aapki!”
Referring to the cricketer’s provocative story, Shreyas further wrote, “It is never too late to start”.
At the beginning of the trailer, former cricketer Rahul Dravid can be seen talking about Pravin Tambe at a conference. “Many times people expect me to come here and talk about Tendulkar and Laxman and Ganguly and Kumble,” he says. Dravid further says that he would love to tell the story of Praveen Tambe.
Subsequently, the trailer shows the difficulties faced by Praveen Tambe and how his parents insisted on getting him a job. Reflecting the cricketer’s passion, at one point Shreyas is heard saying that he would only work in one “cricket company”.
Notably, Shreyas had done another cricket-centric film Iqbal in 2005. Throwing light on this, he wrote along with the trailer that he started his career with Iqbal 18 years back. He shared that Praveen Tambe is special to him because of “this man’s journey, his struggles and victories.”
Also, Shreyas expected the audience to shower Praveen Tambe with the same love they did for Iqbal years ago. Shreyas tagged Praveen saying, “I hope I can live up to your story.”
Right-arm leg-spinner Pravin Tambe made his IPL debut at the age of 41 and played for Rajasthan Royals. Reportedly, Praveen will be seen playing for the same team in this season of IPL as well.
Apart from Shreyas Talpade, the film also stars Ashish Vidyarthi, Anjali Patil and Parambrata Chatterjee. It is scheduled to release on Disney+ Hotstar on April 1.
