It’s been their ‘game’ plan for years now and it’s never gone wrong. This time, too, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have made a slick film with an impressive star cast and it’s shot in five international cities. Excel Entertainment’s Game, directed by Abhinay Deo, is on the lines of the slick and thrilling Bourne Identity series. It has
Abhishek Bachchan playing an entertainment mogul from Istanbul, Jimmy Shergill a Bollywood actor from Mumbai, Boman Irani a politician from Thailand,
Shahana Goswami a budding crime journalist from London, Kangna Ranaut the shinning star of the International Vigilance Squad from London, and Sarah Jane Dias the main reason why all these characters cross paths.
Says Abhishek Bachchan, “The wicked, unpredictable mindset of my character in Game makes him a treasure to be with. It was exciting to be shooting across exotic locations around the globe with such an enthusiastic crew and some formidable actors.” And it wasn’t all work and no ‘game’ for the actor. Wife Aishwarya had dropped in on the sets of Greece and spent two weeks with him, cooking sumptuous meals for Abhi and the rest of the crew.
But more than anybody else, it’s debutante Sarah who is most excited. “Game is my first Bollywood film and I could not have asked for a better beginning. Working with Abhinay was a learning experience and I have no doubt that everyone who watches the film will be glued to their seats, it’s a thrilling, international ride. For me, this an opportunity of a lifetime. I think the film will be on par with any action-packed Hollywood entertainer because of the treatment and the styling,” she said.
