Filmmaker Abhisek Sharma believes that cricket woven into a “rom-com and touching on superstition and luck, is an amazing book for a screen adaptation”. “The book has many layers, characters and tracks. Sonam is our Zoya Singh Solanki, an advertising agency executive. She was the first person that came to my mind as she’s as bubbly as Zoya. Dulquer will play Nikhil Khoda, the captain of the Indian Cricket Team in the film. It’s always great to work with Adlabs Films,” Sharma said in a statement to IANS.
Dulquer is also working on another Bollywood project Karwaan with Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar, which is set to release on June 1.
