Spin legend Bishan Singh Bedi no more: This film on cricket saw his first and only movie appearance

The film depicted the story of a young paraplegic cricketer named Anina (Saiyami Kher) and also featured Bedi’s son, Angad Bedi, in a pivotal role, with the legendary cricketer making a cameo appearance as himself, giving valuable advice to Anina.

Expressing his joy at the opportunity to share the screen with his father, Angad told news agency ANI in August, “This is a dream come true for me. To be in the same film and credit list of a film together my with father, who is not only a legendary cricketer but also an incredible human being, is an honour. Working alongside Saiyami and Abhishek has been a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait for the audience to witness the magic we have created together.”

Bishan Singh Bedi was a part of Indian cricket’s golden quartet of spinners, along with Erapalli Prasanna, Bhagwat Chadrasekhar and Srinivas Venkataraghavan. Together, the quartet formed the core of India’s bowling unit for over a decade between 1966 and 1978.
