Sachin Tendulkar, accompanied by Telugu film actress Anushka Shetty, inaugurated the PVP mall and multiplex here on Friday, amid surging crowds of his admirers. The promoter, Potluri Vara Prasad, showed Sachin and Anushka around the mall.
Sachin said he had always wanted to play in Vijayawada, but somehow the occasion did not arise, but he had great regard for his fans here. He thanked them for the affection showered on him even after his retirement.
“It is a great mall built by Prasad in your town and it will be a great attraction,” he said. Anushka also said she was delighted to participate in the event.
P Sai Padma, Managing Director, said ₹125 crores had been spent on the mall which will have 4.27 lakh sq feet of space.
“We will attract all the global brands here and it will be a great shopping experience for the people,” she added.
