The poster of sports drama “Doosra” is out and its director Abhinay Deo says it’s a film that is very special to him.
July 13, 2002, is a date when the then Cricket captain Sourav Ganguly and his young team celebrated India’s win in the NatWest Series. Showcasing the influence of the Cricket captain on the young minds of the country is Abhinay in his upcoming sports drama titled “Doosra“.
“A film that is very special to me. ‘Doosra‘ – the story of India’s iconic 2002 victory as seen through the eyes of a young girl. Story and screenplay by my friend Agnello Dias. Executive producers Masha and Rohan Sajdeh,” Abhinay tweeted on Thursday.

The first poster of the film gives a sneak peek into the multi-layered story told through the eyes of a young girl who chooses a different route for freedom.
It is a socio-sports drama that marks courage and freedom of expression through one incident that gave Indians the feeling of liberation. Set in the 90s and the early 2000s, the story brings together two vastly different narratives to stand up and stand out, driven by Ganguly’s iconic T-shirt removal at the stadium.
