Filmmaker R Balki's Ghoomer, starring Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan, is set to hit screens on August 18.

According to the makers, the film narrates "a triumphant story of a paraplegic sportsperson (Kher), who excels as a cricketer under the guidance of her coach (Bachchan)." Kher, who plays the role of a paraplegic bowler in the movie, took to Twitter to share the poster of her holding a cricket ball in her left hand with Bachchan by her side.


"Life, logic ka khel nahi...magic ka khel hai. #GhoomerInCinemas on 18th August!" the actor captioned the tweet on Monday.

The story is co-written by Balki, known for Cheeni Kum and Ki and Ka, with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani.

Why celebrity chat shows remain India’s favourite way to peek behind the curtain

Highlights:

  • Chat shows let us see stars up close.
  • It’s not gossip, it’s small personal moments.
  • Simi, Karan, and Kapil all changed the style.
  • OTT and regional shows give more relaxed chats.
  • Audiences keep watching because stars feel real.

So, Kajol and Twinkle Khanna’s show, Two Much, is already near its fourth episode. And people keep asking: why do we love watching stars sit on sofas so much? It’s not the gossip. Not really. We’re not paying for the gossip. We’re paying for the glimpse. For the little wobble in a voice, a tiny apology, a family story you recognise. It’s why Simi’s white sofa mattered once, why Karan’s sofa rattled the tabloids, and why Kapil’s stage made everyone feel at home. The chat show isn’t dead. It just keeps changing clothes.
