In a chat with PTI, director R Balki talked about his upcoming film. He said, "Ghoomer is a unique story. It's almost like inventing a new ball in cricket. It is a story of a girl, a cricketer, who loses her hand and how a person inspires her to become a champion. To me, the trip on 'Ghoomer' was to discover something new in sports. We have seen so many films on cricket. Nobody wants to see another cricket film. If I'm doing (just) a cricket film, what would I give back to cricket or the sport? We did a lot of research and actually came up with a new delivery, which cricket has not seen... So, that's interesting."
