R Balki probably couldn’t have asked for a more apt place for the première of his next, Ghoomer. The sports drama—starring Shabana Azmi, Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher and Angad Bedi—will be premièred in Melbourne, considered the sports capital of Australia. It has been selected as the opening film of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) that kicks off on August 11.
Ghoomer tells the story of a paraplegic sportsperson, portrayed by Kher, who excels as a cricketer under the guidance of her coach, essayed by Bachchan. For Kher, it’s a matter of pride that her movie will be screened in the country of the late Shane Warne, of whom she remains an avid fan. “I couldn’t have asked for anything better than going to the land of the great Shane Warne to showcase our film. Playing a sport on screen was always my dream, I have been manifesting it since I started acting. I’m glad it has finally come true,” she says.
