On the occasion of National Sports Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Fit India Movement. He urged the citizens to indulge in physical activities regularly to stay fit. Sachin Tendulkar used his influence to encourage his fans to stay fit. He was shooting an ad at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai when he was joined by Varun Dhawan. The actor must have also been at the studios to shoot something. The two celebrities started playing to kill time or for pure joy. Yes, Varun to got to play gully cricket with God of cricket himself. Soon, they were joined by Abhishek Bachchan, who also happened to have a shoot there, it seems. Sachin Tendulkar Backs 'Fit India Movement', Plays Carom with Senior Citizens.
Wow, it was certainly the perfect day to be at Mehboob Studios. Abhishek only played with Sachin and Varun for a short while and took a leave. Varun lost the game to Sachin, BTW.
