Veteran actress Shabana Azmi appears on screen and says, “Adaab Amitabh ji. Itne saalon ke baad finally I am on KBC. Though this is for short duration, but I hope I will be able to sit on the hot seat someday.”
“I am so sorry that I am not present among you people,” says Shabana.
The actress wore a yellow top and paired it with a blue scarf.
She then asked the question: “Which of these award-winning films is directed by a woman?” The options were: Raazi, Thappad, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Dangal.
The correct answer was given by a homemaker Radha Gawande, from among the audience. The answer was ‘Raazi’.
Amitabh said: “The director of Raazi was Meghna Gulzar.” Raazi was a 2018 spy thriller film starring Alia Bhatt in the lead role. The flick also starred Vicky Kaushal, Shishir Sharma and Jaideep Ahlawat in pivotal roles.
In ‘Ghoomer’, Sayami is playing a paraplegic sportsperson.
Written and directed by R Balki, the flick stars Abhishek Bachchan in the lead, along with Shabana Azmi, and Angad Bedi in the pivotal roles.
The story revolves around Anina (Saiyami), a young woman batting prodigy, who loses her right hand in an unfortunate accident on the eve of her international cricketing debut.
An unsympathetic, failed and frustrated cricketer enters her life, gives her a new dream and transforms her fate by the most innovative training, to make her play for the Indian cricket team again, as a bowler.
‘Ghoomer’ is the new style of bowling they invent to bamboozle the opposition.
It is inspired by the incredible achievement of Karoly Takacs, the achievements of special athletes, and who have achieved more than when they were called “normal”.
The film has been released in cinemas.
