Striker is actor Siddharth's second Hindi film after Rang De Basanti. He had also starred in a short film called Blood Brothers, made by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Siddharth has denied several good offers from Mumbai including Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi 6 and David Dhawan's film for UTV. He has been preparing for the new challenge and now has become an expert at carom. He has met the real-life Suryakant several times and has spent time in Malavni getting the feel of the place. He speaks very fluent Hindi as he has spent a large part of his life in Delhi and Mumbai though he functions from the south.
Talented director Chandan Arora is directing the movie. Striker is the third movie by Arora, whose previous ventures were the sentimental Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon and Main Meri Patni Aur Woh.
The other star cast includes Chak De India fame Vidya Malvade, Nicolette Bird, Seema Biswas and Aditya Pancholi. Padmapriya would be seen portraying the character of a bar owner.
Padmapriya made the name of good actress with her debut in Malayalam film Kazhcha starring Mammooty which was also director Blessy's first directorial venture. Padmapriya made her presence in Tamil with Thavamaai Thavamirundhu. Now she is shooting for director Cheran's Pokkisham, love story between Muslim woman and a Hindu man.
Striker, which was supposed to start rolling in 2008, got delayed due to un availability of call sheet. When this slum dog kid meets for a game challenge many eyebrows are sure to rise.
