Sports
films
seem
to
be
the
flavour
of
the
coming
year.
Beginning
with
Nisha
Chainani's
Mumbai
Marathon
in
January
which
features
Sammir
Dattani
as
a
marathon
runner,
Bollywood
has
a
string
of
films
based
on
games
and
sports
lined
up
for
release.
Among
them
there's
Shimit
Amin's
Chak
De
(featuring
Shah
Rukh
Khan
as
a
hockey
coach
of
a
girls'
team),
Vivek
Agnihotri's
Goal
(football
flick
with
John
Abraham)
and
Soham
Shah's
film
.
If sporty is in, then flicks can't get sportier than debutant director Vicky Singh's Raaste. ... a sort of Dhoom-meets-Fast&Furious featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, John Abraham and Sikandar Kher, the film's main action converges on an international car race which will be shot at an unknown destination. The main cast, all featured in rugged avatars, are expected to train in the intricacies of car racing.
Says Sikandar, "I suppose Raaste will be one of those flicks that hasn't been done before in Hindi. I'm very excited to be part of it. I'm getting to work with Abhishek whom I've known from childhood. He's like the elder brother I never had. And John is also someone I know very well. So we guys are going to bond big-time."
Sikandar's first film, Hansal Mehta's Woodstock Villa is almost complete. "It's been a learning experience. And Sanjay Gupta is a terrific producer. If I had a choice I'd still want this to be my first release."
