From opening the innings for his national side to sitting in the commentary box giving effusive opinions on the goings-on of the game of cricket, Ramiz Raja, aka Rambo, has come a long way. And now he has decided to make a film on, yes … you’ve guessed it … cricket. The only thing that Ramiz R has given away about the project, so far, is that it will have Sanjay Dutt playing the character of the male protagonist. In fact, he says, it is a ‘male-oriented’ film. Of course, sir, cricket is a gentleman’s game. No, that was a century back. Whatever. Looking forward to a smooth cover-drive, and hoping that it will not take the edge of the bat and offer a catch behind the (box office) stumps.
