KOCHI: Paying tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, a dental surgeon from Kerala has brought out a video album on the cricketer in 20 languages.

Titled ‘Shan-e-Hindustan’, the six-minute album features a song on Tendulkar, which has been sung by Dr C V Ranjith hailing from Kannur district.

The first copy of the album was handed over to Tendulkar when the cricketer was here for the India-Australia one-dayer on October 2, Ranjith told reporters here.

“All the best,” was how Tendulkar responded when he was told about the video, which will be released in the market by December. The audio CDs will be ready by next month.

“It was my dream to give the first copy to Sachin,” Ranjith said.

The shooting has been done in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kannur.

This is the first time that a singer has sung in 20 languages — including Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Bihari, Kashmiri, Tulu, Urdu, Arabic, English, Sanskrit and Bhojpuri.

Though not a trained singer, Ranjith, also a former shuttler, took to singing two years ago. He has already come out with a Hindi album ‘Shalu’.
