The inspiring story of Ghoomer

The sports dramais directed by R Balki, known for films such as Cheeni Kum, Ki and Kaand Pad Man among others. The film is inspired by the life of Karoly Takacs, a late Hungarian shooter, who won two Olympic gold medals with his left hand after his right hand was injured

He told PTI at the 53rd International Film Festival of India, “I suggested let’s make it a cricket film rather than a shooting film as people will take a lot of time to understand (the sport).” The movie is co-written by Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani.
