Ronnie Screwvala is a reputed name in film
production circles thanks to his stint at UTV
Motion Pictures. Under his tenure, the
production house became well-known after
it backed several entertaining and path-
breaking films. After a sabbatical of a few
years, Ronnie is back with a slate of films.
And now he has got involved in one more
film that's sure to grab attention thanks to
its novel topic.
This film in question would be set in the
world of blind cricket. It would be partly
based on the Indian team's victory in the
final match of the 2012 T20 Blind Cricket
World Cup against Pakistan. It is seen a big
achievement as for the first time, India was
experimenting with the T20 format in blind
cricket. Ronnie Screwvala informed that the
film majorly would be about a talented
young boy from the slums of Mumbai and
how he finds his calling in blind cricket.
Through the journey of this boy, they'll
enlighten, as well as of course entertain,
viewers about blind cricket, how India has
exceled in it and a lot more. However, till
now, nobody has been finalized, not even
the director. It's only after the director is
announced that they'll scout for actors.
World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) is the
governing body for blind cricket. At present,
there are 10 full-time international teams
under WBCC India, Australia, Bangladesh,
England, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri
Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies and Nepal. The
Indian blind cricket team is run by the
Cricket Association for the Blind in India
(CABI). Ronnie Screwvala said that both
WBCC and CABI are helping them in the
script and in adding authenticity. Moreover,
real-life coaches and players will be called
on board to bond with the actors and bring
out the mannerisms and techniques of
visually challenged players. Ronnie
Screwvala hopes that the film will go on
floors next year.
