Sports
and
sports
films
seem
to
be
occupying
a
lot
of
our
cinematic
space.
It
therefore
comes
as
no
surprise
to
know
that
the
sporty
Harman
Baweja
is
doing
a
cricket
film,
Victory
directed
by
theatre
and
TV
personality
Ajit
Pal,
under
the
banner
Victory
Films
International,
the
movie
is
being
produced
by
Manmohan
Shetty,
whereas
Ruby
Singh
of
Studio
309
is
the
line
producer.
Starring
Harman
Baweja,
Amrita
Rao,
Anupam
Kher,
Gulshan
Grover,
Dalip
Tahil,
the
movie
has
guest
appearances
by
over
30
international
cricketers
including
swashbuckling
middle-order
Aussie
mainstay
Michael
Hussey,
pace
spearhead
Brett
Lee
and
pacer
Stuart
Clark
besides
legends
like
Allan
Border
along
with
a
few
Indian
and
Sri

like;

Victory
features
Anupam

as

father
and
Amrita

is
the
leading
lady.
The
movie
has
just
completed
its
shooting
schedule
in
Mumbai
and
is
about
to
start
its
five
days
shooting
schedule
at
Firozshah
Kotla
Stadium
in
Delhi,
where
a
cricket
bowling
scene
will
take
place
with
Harman,
Ishant,
Munaf,
Harbhajan
and
R.P.
Singh.
Only
after
doing
one
film
Harman
has
found
an
unlikely
admirer
in
Brett
Lee.
"He
is
a
fantastic
fellow.
We
had
good
fun
shooting
for
the
film.
Being
a
professional
actor,
Harman
was
of
great
help
during
the
shoot," Lee
said
about
his
experience
of
working
with
Harman.
Hoping
that
after
mixed
results
to
his
debut
movie
Love
Story
2050,
this
new
concept
of
cricketers
and
movie
stars
is
going
to
be
a
real
Victory
for
Harman's
Career.
