Filmmaker R Balki's 'Ghoomer', starring Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan, is set to hit screens on August 18. According to the makers, the film narrates "a triumphant story of a paraplegic sportsperson (Kher), who excels as a cricketer under the guidance of her coach (Bachchan)."

Kher, who plays the role of a paraplegic bowler in the movie, took to Twitter to share the poster of her holding a cricket ball in her left hand with Bachchan by her side.

"Life, logic ka khel nahi...magic ka khel hai. #GhoomerInCinemas on 18th August!" the actor captioned the tweet on Monday.


The story is co-written by Balki, known for "Cheeni Kum" and "Ki and Ka", with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani.
