MUMBAI: Bollywood’s veteran actor Shabana Azmi teams up with R Balki for his upcoming project ‘Ghoomer’. It’s a film about cricket and the mighty Shabana Azmi plays a woman who loves cricket in R Balki’s underproduction Ghoomer which stars Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher. The latter plays a budding cricketer and the former is her coach.
Abhishek has earlier done the remarkable Paa with director Balki where he played his own father, Amitabh Bachchan’s father (yes, that’s not a typo). Shabana Azmi who has never worked with Balki before plays Saiyami’s grandmother. A cricket aficionado, Shabana encourages Saiyami to follow her dreams of making it as a national cricket champion much to the disapproval of others close to her.
Saiyami is a natural-born athlete and an actress of considerable talent, as we saw in the back-to-back web series Special Ops, Choked, Breathe, and Unpaused.
The shoot of R Balki’s next, Ghoomer, starring Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher and Shabana Azmi, recently kicked off. Saiyami, who has earlier worked with Bachchan in Breathe: Into The Shadows, will be seen sharing the screen space once again. Kher, who is a sports enthusiast, will be essaying the role of a cricketer in the film. Abhishek will be playing her coach.
