To strike or not to strike? Siddharth hopes Striker will be a hit. You Tube will carry Strike from February 5
Bollywood is about to make history for itself by making available a new Hindi film online.
Striker, a joint venture between ‘The Indian Film Company’ and ‘Studio 18,’ will be on You Tube on February 5.
Studio 18 Marketing Director Ankit Chauhan said the online version will conform to high quality of visual and sound.
“This is an exciting development as Bollywood buffs will be able to watch Striker anytime they want from the comfort of their homes, without having to wait for official video and DVD releases,” he said.
The film’s hero, Siddharth (Suryanarayanan) was also excited.
“The film was a challenge. Its powerful story and action will have universal appeal,” he told Indian Newslink during a telephone conversation from Mumbai last week.
He plays the role of Surya, a young man of ill-health, taking to the board game of carom. He wins the Junior Championship but the hope of securing a job in Dubai overtakes his passion for the game. But untoward events influence his life thereafter.
“Striker is a story of friendship, goodwill and understanding, with a touch of crime,” he said.
Siddharth is keen to establish his own image in the film industry.
“I do not have a role model; I would rather be myself and be known as such,” he said.
Mani Ratnam, who gave a break to a number of current celebrities including Music Director A R Rahman, introduced Siddharth (who had just obtained his MBA degree) in his Tamil film, Kannathil Muthamittal. His other films include Aayutha Ezhuthu (Tamil), Rang De Basanti (Hindi) and Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam (Telugu).
“I am testing the waters in Bollywood and I hope it would be smooth sailing,” Siddharth said.
Aditya Pancholi, Ankur Vikal, Anoop Soni, Anupam Kher, Padmapriya, Nicolette Bird, Seema Biswas and Vidya Malvade are among the actors cast in Striker.
