may've
gone
completely
unnoticed
at
the
box-office,
but
Harman
S.
Baweja
is
raring
to
go.
"It
hurts
if
your
debut
film
fails,
but
you
can't
let
failure
overpower
you," says
Harman,
who's
ready
to
face
the
audience
again
next
week.
Victory
has
to
succeed.
It's
a
do-or-die
film
for
him.
"Every
film
is
a
do-or-die
film
actually.
The
business
is
so
different
today.
That
one
film
plays
the
deciding
role,"
he
asserts.
Tell
us
about
Victory.
"At
the
outset,
when
I
signed
Victory,
I
didn't
realize
it
would
be
so
tough.
The
role
was
very
demanding,
plus
one
wasn't
facing
actors
on
field,
but
real-life
cricketers.
Also,
the
shooting
was
spread
over
various
stadiums,
depending
on
the
availability
of
a
cricketer.
Whew...
this
was
the
most
unforgettable
experience
ever," Harman
smiles.
At
a
time
when
every
second
television
channel
is
either
telecasting
a
cricket
match
or
there's
some
discussion
on
cricket,
why
would
people
be
interested
in
spending
Rs.
200
for
a
ticket
to
watch
a
cricket
match
on
the
big
screen?
"Because
Victory
is
not
a
cricket
match.
It
goes
beyond
that.
It
shows
what
happens
behind
closed
doors,
when
a
cricketer
fails
or
is
out
of
the
team.
His
highs
and
lows,
how
his
family
gets
affected,
how
his
frustrations
take
over…
So
it's
different,"
Harman
defends
Victory.
Harman
has
two
more
films
lined
up
in
the
coming
months,
both
directed
by
super-successful
names
-
Ashutosh
Gowariker
and
Anees
Bazmee.
Also,
a
film
produced
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
the
central
role.
"I
am
really
nervous
about
this
one,
but
I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
Mr.
Bachchan,"
he
states.
