I���ve never met any of the Sri Lankan cricketers, so I���m looking forward to shooting with them.��� He is going to shoot with Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vas, Kumar Sangakkara, M F Maharoof and Dilhara Fernando. ���I'm a huge fan of Vas and Murali. I want to learn how Murali spins,��� said Harman excitedly.
Presently, Harman is in Jodhpur, shooting with local Ranji Trophy players for the film. ���I���ve shot with Dinesh Karthik, Yusuf Pathan, R P Singh and Praveen Kumar. And amongst the Australian cricketers, with Brett Lee, Stuart Clark, Mike Hussey, Mathew Hayden and Brad Hogg,��� he reported.
Harman plays Vijay Shekhawat, a small-town boy who goes on to become a player in the Indian cricket team. Any more international players they plan to rope in? ���Talks are on. We should be able to crack a deal with at least two more teams,��� he revealed.
