Mumbai based Nazara Technologies signs a worldwide exclusive deal with cricket superstar Sachin Tendulkar to develop a wide range of mobile phone content such as games, wall papers, screensavers, themes, SMS trivia, mobile social services based on him and latest news on him. Deal is worth Rs 20 crore (Rs 200 million). This was bound to happen as Sachin Tendulkar is one of the best cricket players out there and has been a ambassador for many leading brands in the world. He is basically treated like a God by cricket loving Indians all over the world.
"We expect strong demand from mobile operators, considering Tendulkar's brand recognition and image. We are already in discussions with operators in the UK for a major launch in their market with Tendulkar's games, based on cutting-edge mobile technology." The US was also a huge market with over 2 million Indians, a targeted consumer base, he added.
In India the Tendulkar mobile phone game will probably be priced at about Rs 100 and wallpapers for phones at Rs 10 each. In the UK, the game will be priced at about £5 and in the US at about $5. Nazara normally gets 40-65 per cent of the retail price, depending on the country of distribution.
Other recent deals signed by the company:
...with the Magna group in India to bring content based on their popular magazines such as Stardust to the mobile phone market. There was a growing worldwide market for mobile content based on Indian movies, he added. The company has also signed up with global American brands such as the evergreen Archie's Comics and British athlete Colin Jackson.
"The Archie's comic licence will allow us to develop fun games based on all the popular Archie characters, deliver wallpapers and screensavers based on them, as well as deliver the actual comic strips on the phone.
"The deal with them gives us exclusive access to over 60 years of comics in their archives. We expect to generate approximately Rs 20-25 crore (Rs 200-250 million) in revenue over the next three years through Archie," Mittersain said. "Several other top brands are under finalisation and we hope to announce 4-5 more deals in January," he added.

Dear Sachin Tendulkar I dont know that How to prove that I am your blind Supporter But one thing is that When You play motionful then I think that is my greastest day but when You fails to score runs espacially in Crucial mateches then my friends always criticies you then it becomes unberable for me and I begin to have a fight with them I dont know You will read this or not but if possible then concentrate on the consistency we want to see your aggresive form again just think that Somebody is waiting for your knock.
Have a marvelous Year and one thing that I want to see you again in ICC Ratings on top and winning all awards.

dear Sachin,
I am a huuuuuuuuuuuge and the gretest fan of u.I m seeing u playing since 1991 and i m crazy about your batting style and technique. World say that don bredman is the gretest batsman in the world but i m sure that u r better than him also because nobody can bat like u and i think that u r the gretest batsman in the history of cricket.You have scored the highest runs in the world cup but it is my wish that india should win a world cup also in presence of u and because of u.
all the best for your future.

Sachin, you may be going through the toughest period of your career so far but let me tell you that you still are the best batsman out there. You are doing most things right in your batting even now.Its just a matter of time before the world of cricket will be at your feet again.

SACHIN u r very very very very very very very CUTE & the GOD.............let anybody say anything but the truth can never change that u r the KOHINOOR to INDIA........& we indians r really proud of u as u have made us proud infront of the world.Cricket starts with u & ends with u rest all r formality.An old man in a small village asked to Sidhu that u play the same game that sachin plays???????
everyone can understand now that in india u r the god,the genius,the gem &lots more.Ur down to earth nature is hard to find now a days in any OF THE star's behaviour. I want that u should play till 60 bcoz u deserve it.Today people have forgotten ur contributions but i bet after ur retirement people will understand that what they have lost.....
U r a true nationalist & youth icon even today... I really like u.I am ur greatest fan in this whole world & i pray to god for ur great success.THE WHOLE WORLD & INDIA IS WITH U.GO & SHOW EVERYBODY THAT WHY U R KNOWN AS GOD OF CRICKET,MASTER BLASTER,GENIUS & MANY MORE.....ALL THE BEST.U R THE BEST PLAYER,THE BEST FATHER & THE NATION'S PRIDE....
