Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher starrer Ghoomer is a tribute to sport, reservoir of human resilience

Filmmaker R. Balki whose highly-anticipated film Ghoomer will open the prestigious 14th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), said it's a tribute to sport and the reservoir of human resilience.

Ghoomer brings together an incredible ensemble cast under the expert direction of R Balki with Abhishek Bachchan at the forefront.

Talking about the same, Balki said, "It's indeed an honour and pleasure for us that Ghoomer will be the opening film at the IFFM. It is a story of turning adversity into advantage."

"Ghoomer is a tribute to sport and the reservoir of human resilience. It's only fitting for a film that believes that 'Sport makes life worth living' to be launched in the Sport capital of the world, Australia, land of the MCG," he added.

Directed by Balki, Ghoomer stars Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher in lead roles while Amitabh Bachchan, Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi in key roles.
