Sneak preview of Striker

Winning the Junior Carrom Championship at 12 is not enough to keep Surya’s fire for the sport burning through adolescence. Hopes for a job in Dubai replace the passion for carrom, as Surya grows into a young man.

His patience and cool attitude are Surya’s biggest strengths. But life has ways of testing even the strongest of men!

In Striker, Aditya Panscholi, who plays the character of Jaleel, has his hands in illicit activities in the area for long. Feeding on the weaknesses of people, Jaleel was the self-proclaimed king of Malwani.

Quite similar to pool (conceptually), carrom is common among people from the middle and lower income groups in India.

Born into a poor family, 'Surya', the character played by actor Siddharth, who grows up with limited luxuries. Poor health keeps him away from school and that is when his elder brother introduces him to carrom.

From the director of Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh and Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, and top-lining Siddharth Narayan (of Rang De Basanti fame), Striker is the story of a carrom player who grows up on the fringes of a criminal existence but does not succumb to it.

Striker is not about good versus evil.It is the story of a friendship, life in the city of dreams in the 80s, and of a game that is common but non-existent.
