John Abraham and sweetheart Bipasha Basu are leaving no stones unturned to promote their upcoming flick ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’, all set to release on Nov 23. In an innovative promotional stunt, the duo joined hands with real footballers, dimpled for the shutterbugs and cordially mixed with Delhiites at a function organised by Zee Sports.
‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’ is based on football. John plays Sunny Bhasin, an ace footballer in UK, who is a victim of racism and is forced to quit the English team because of his skin colour. Bipasha is cast in the role of Rumana, a physiotherapist.
At the glitzy function, John flashed smiles as he thanked Delhi for its support. “Thank You for supporting us. ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’ is good movie, you should watch it. I love Delhi, you all are very encouraging”. He applauded the players of Indian football team who stood around the glam couple. “Big hand for the real players, they play for the country. Thanks for their contribution towards football and the movie”. He also thanked Zee Sports for inviting them at the function.
Bips quipped, “We are here to thank the real and reel heroes. I enjoyed the shooting of the movie. It’s a different film”. She was all praises for football which, she felt, deserves better treatment in the country. “Watch the film to support football”, her effective oneliner said it all.
The promotional event proved to be the right opportunity for Okori Cheema, the new coach of Mohunbagan to promote the game. He said, “It’s a great thing that a film on football is coming. It should make football the numero uno sport”. Prominent Indian footballer Sunil Chetri too joined in and added, “I hope kids get inspired into taking up the sport”.
Answering a question posed by a member of the audience, John revealed that the film deals with racism and that whoever has faced racism would certainly relate to it.
He praised the professional footballers and said that the life of a footballer is very difficult. Moreover, it is a fact that footballers have just an eight-year span to achieve everything and he is under immense pressure. He further said that Asians face racism in western countries and the film will open doors for Asians into big football teams.
