/> Says a source, "Harman has always been a cricket buff. Lately he had no opportunity to hone his cricketing skills, thanks to his busy schedules. Now this character of a cricketer which he gets to play in Victory has given him a chance to discover his passion for the game."

Adds the source, "Since he'll be playing with professional cricketers from the worldover—just like John plays football with real footballers in Vivek Agnihotri's Goal—Harman has to be really careful not to end up looking like amateur with the bat."

Sports and sports films seem to be occupying a lot of our cinematic space. It therefore comes as no surprise to know that the sporty Harman Baweja is doing this cricket film to be directed by theatre and tv personality Ajit Pal.

Harman confirms he starts work on the film in November. His work in his home production Love Story 2050 is almost over. "There're just five more shooting days. Then we're done,"says Harman.

Harman is quite a cricket player in real life.

The cricket film entitled Victory will feature Anupam Kher as Harman's father.

"It's a brilliant subject," says Anupam. "I've known Ajit Pal from his theatre days. Though I don't get to play cricket in the film I'd any day be part of the pavilion in a film as well-meaning as this."

Harman's leading lady in the film is Amrita Rao. Apparently the role is tailormade for her.
