Later, Vidhu Vinod Chopra agreed to give Sachin Tendulkar and Rajkumar Hirani access to the book at Manoj's request. When Manoj Sharma saw Vidhu Vinod Chopra again six months later, he informed him that he had received backing from both Rajkumar Hirani and Sachin Tendulkar and that he had asked Hirani if he would consider directing the movie.
