Is Harbhajan Singh planning to venture into bollywood through Victory?
With the sports
oriented film based on cricket, titled 'Victory', coming up soon, we caught up
with none other than Team India's Turbanator Harbhajan Singh who will also be
seen in the film. So here's a free rolling conversation with 'Bhajji' about
cricket, the film 'Victory' and his future plans about Bollywood.
I play myself in
'Victory'. When I heard the script, I got very enthusiastic about it as it is a
sports film with cricketers from all over the world acting in it.
Q. How
was it working with the director, Ajitpal Mangat?
Ajitpal Mangat
and myself bonded very well as we both are Punjabis and we both like Makkai Di
Roti & Sarso Da Saag.
Q. How
was it working with Harman Baweja?
Harman is a very
warm person and I share a great rapport with him, we had a great time working
together while filming shots for 'Victory'. He is a very talented actor and I
am sure after the film 'Victory' releases, he will have the world moving behind
him.
Q. Would
you call 'Victory' your Bollywood debut?
I play myself in
'Victory' and I am a part of Vijay Shikhawat (Harman)'s team. My life is
cricket and I don't know about the future but I am sure I want to be a
cricketer only all my life, and as an answer to your question no I would not
call the film 'Victory' my debut film.
Q. Any
particular reason for doing 'Victory'?
I got to know
from everybody that the script was very authentic and all my colleagues were a
part of the film, so I too wanted to be a part of 'Victory'.
Q. How
was it acting for Ajitpal's 'Victory'?
It was a great
experience, on field we have a captain who tells you what to do on the field
but here, I had Ajitpal Mangat who wanted me to bowl in at particular speed so
that the batsman could hit fours and sixes. It's something which I have never
done in my life but I managed to do that (laughs).
Q. What
if 'Victory-2' goes on floors and you are approached for the lead?
No one has
approached me yet but if they can afford my price I may think of doing
'Victory-2'.
