Chennai: Sharing the experience of working with Sachin Tendulkar for an advertisement, Pratap Pothan had jokingly said that even though he is working hard to reach heights in cricket, Sachin Tendulkar is very lazy when it comes to acting. He also maintained a close relationship with Sachin.
Pratap Pothan’s brilliance in that field was underlined by the advertisement done for MRF by cricket legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Steve Waugh. All those ads were designed by an agency he founded called Green Apple. The ad got a lot of attention during the Indian Premier League tournament.
In an interview to a magazine later, Pratap Pothan said that it was a good experience to work with the three greats of cricket. Sachin is the most admired cricketer in the world. Everyone knows that Sachin is constantly training in the nets without any hesitation to open up new avenues in the game. However, Pratap Pothan had said then that there is no such interest and hard work in acting.
He is very lazy when it comes to acting. As soon as he reached the location, he asked ‘Pratap…when will you let me go?’ will be I will also reply, ‘I just came, excuse me for a while’. Lara and Steve Waugh were the opposite. But purity of mind and humility is very much in Sachin. There is no pretense of being a worshiper of the world. He speaks and interacts with whomever he speaks with the consideration that he is also a person of his level. AR is like Sachin. Pratap Pothan also said that Rahman. Actor and director Pratap Pothan was found dead in his flat in Chennai on Friday.
