For the film, Sushant was trained by former Indian wicketkeeper Kiran More, and he reportedly injured his ribs while practicing the cricketer’s signature ‘helicopter’ shot.

Produced by Fox Star Studios and helmed by Neeraj Pandey, the film, releasing on September 2, also stars Kiara Advani, Anupam Kher and Herry Tangri.
