Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar says he is floored by Aamir Khan’s performance in the film PK and says it’s the best film that he has ever seen.

Tendulkar was at a screening of the film on Tuesday hosted by Khan especially for him.

“The film is superb. I have promised Aamir so I won’t disclose much about the story. But I would like to say that all of you please go and watch this film as it is completely different. For me it’s the best film and best performance of Aamir that I have ever seen,” Tendulkar said.

“His role in the film is completely different. It is completely out-of-the box film with a very strong message. It is a must-watch film. Without any doubt it is his best performance,” he added.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and co-produced by Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, PK will see Khan as an astronaut and speaking Bhojpuri.

Further, the master blaster praised Khan’s co-star Anushka Sharma for her performance and added: “Aamir and Anushka’s [pairing] was amazing. It’s a must watch”.

PK also features Sanjay Dutt, Sushant Singh Rajput and Saurabh Shukla. It will hit the screens worldwide this Friday.
