I doubt that that's an accurate estimate. I think 35mm film would definitely give less resolution than 20-21 Mp cameras of course there are different types of 35mm film and some have finer grain. Check out this post from schoolbusdriver. He was using a 12 megapixel camera and cropped quite a bit to get the image on the right.
