Bollywood New Movie "Victory," which has a cricket theme, had its global premiere in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo on Friday, a co-producer said.

Shot in India, Sri Lanka, Australia and Pakistan, "Victory" centres around a father who dreams his young son, Vijay Shekhawat, will rise from a small village in Rajasthan to play for the Indian cricket team.

"The film combines what Indians love best -- cricket, music and Bollywood movies," said Sri Lankan producer Chandran Rutnam, who handled the Colombo leg of the shooting.

The star-studded cast includes Bollywood big names such as Hurman Baweja (who plays Vijay Shekhawat), Amrita Rao and Gulshan Grover.

But the biggest draw is some 60 international cricketers including Brett Lee, Harbhajan Singh, Atul Wassan, Dinesh Kartik, Mike Hussey, Shoaib Malik, Sanath Jayasuriya and Muttiah Muralitharan, Rutnam said.

"The international cricketers playing themselves gives an authentic feel to the film," he told AFP.

For "Victory" director Ajitpal Mangat, meeting the stars of the game has been one of the highlights of the marathon shoot.

"I always wanted to make a movie on cricket. And this is the tribute to my life long obsession," Mangat said in a statement.

Ratnam said the premiere was shifted from Dubai to Colombo to co-incide with India's short tour of Sri Lanka, which ends on February 11.

The premiere was in Colombo's Regal Theater in the presence of players from the Sri Lankan and Indian cricket teams and Bollywood stars Amrita Rao, Hurman Baweja and Gulshan Grover.

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...
