It’s a film about cricket and the mighty Shabana Azmi plays a woman who loves cricket in S 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 webseries Special Ops, Choked, Breathe, Unpaused and in Anurag Kashyap’s feature film Choked.
