Saiyami Kher to play cricket prodigy, gutsy firefighter in Ghoomer

Saiyami Kher will soon be seen in director R. Balki’s Ghoomer where she will be playing a specially abled cricket prodigy.

Talking about her roles, Kher said: "I believe all heroes don't wear capes and there are many unsung heroes. I am looking forward to 2023 because I get to play a few such characters."

She further mentioned how these characters have been a learning for her as an actress, "A sportsperson, who, even after losing a hand, didn't lose her spirit or a lady firefighter, who is hardly spoken about: these characters don't just give you perspective on life as an actor but also as a human being."

Ghoomer also has Abhishek Bachchan, Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi in pivotal roles. The story is co-written by Balki, along with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani, and is inspired by the story of Karoly Takacs, the late Hungarian right-hand shooter who won two Olympic gold medals with his left hand after his other hand was injured.

Kher will also be seen in Agni, which is directed by Raees (2017) helmer Rahul Dholakia, recently wrapped up its shoot.
