Sports and sports films seem to be occupying a lot of numbers in bollywood. It therefore comes as no surprise to know that the Harman Baweja is doing a cricket film, "Victory" directed by theatre and TV personality Ajit Pal, under the banner Victory Films International, the movie is being produced by Manmohan Shetty, whereas Ruby Singh is the line producer.
Starring Harman Baweja, Amrita Rao, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Dalip Tahil, the film has guest appearances by over 30 international cricketers including blustery middle-order Aussie mainstay Michael Hussey, pace lead Brett Lee and pacer Stuart Clark besides legends like Allan Border along with a few Indian and Sri Lankan cricketers like; Praveen Kumar, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, R.P. Singh, Ishant Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, Navjot Singh Siddhu, Sanath Jayasurya, and Dilhara Fernando in the long list.

"Victory" features Anupam Kher as Harman's father and Amrita Rao is the actress. The film has just completed its shooting schedule in Mumbai and is about to start its five days shooting schedule at Firozshah Kotla Stadium in Delhi, where a cricket bowling scene will take place with Harman, Ishant, Munaf, Harbhajan and R.P. Singh.
Only after doing one movie Harman has found an implausible fan in Brett Lee. "He is a fantastic fellow. We had good fun shooting for the film. Being a professional actor, Harman was of great help during the shoot," Lee said about his experience of working with Harman.
Hoping that after mixed results to his debut film Love Story 2050, this new idea of cricketer's and movie stars is going to be a real Victory for Harman's Career.
