Akhil Akkineni is one of the biggest Sachin fans out there. A good cricketer himself, the young actor idolizes the Master Blaster as an icon. He is keenly awaiting the release of 'Sachin: A Billion Dreams' on May 26. He tweeted saying, "Waiting to see my hero on screen. The story of a man who changed the cricketing world and is the very reason for many to do so. @sachin_rt".

At this, the fanboy got a reply from none other than the hero himself! Retweeting the same, Sachin replied to his fan, saying, "Thank you for the kind words, @AkhilAkkineni8. The wait is almost over, just 6 days to go!!"

Akhil said this much that the wait is never over until he watches the film. "Sir for me the wait is over when I see it only because I need to know the story that inspired me to be inspired. God speed ! #myhero".
