R. Balki, Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher's upcoming movie, "Ghoomer," is set to open at the 2023 edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). One of the biggest and most prestigious Indian film festivals outside of India is returning for its 14th edition from August 11th to 20th, 2023.
R. Balki and Abhishek Bachchan's joint statement is as follows:
"It’s indeed an honour and pleasure for us that Ghoomer will be the opening film at the IFFM. Ghoomer is a story of turning adversity into an advantage. A story of innovation when faced with extermination. 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. Welcome to the first preview of Ghoomer".Saiyami Kher shared, "I am thrilled and extremely honoured that Ghoomer will be the opening film at IFFM. This is a film very close to my heart. Playing a sport on screen was always my dream, and I have been manifesting it since I started acting. I’m so glad it’s finally come true. For me, this film goes beyond the sport. It’s a story of triumph in the face of extreme adversity. It has been the most physically and emotionally demanding film I have done. It feels extra special that people will be watching Ghoomer at IFFM for the first time. We couldn’t have asked for anything better than coming to the land of the great Shayne Warne to showcase our film."
