Legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev and former pacer Irfan Pathan attended the screening of the Punjabi film ‘Jahankilla’ in Mumbai.

‘Jahankilla’ is a riveting tale of sacrifice, love, friendship, and patriotism set against the backdrop of Punjab’s villages.

Irfan Pathan was accompanied by his son for the event.

Apart from Kapil Dev and Irfan Pathan, Sunil Gavaskar and Dilip Vengsarkar also graced the event.

Sharing his thoughts post the preview of the film, Kapil Dev said, “I am deeply honoured to support the talented young team behind ‘Jahankilla.’ Their dedication to storytelling and their portrayal of Punjab’s valorous spirit truly resonated with me. I believe this film not only entertains but also inspires, and I am proud to lend my support to such a meaningful project.”

The film, directed by Vickey Kadam, follows the journey of Shinda, a young man from a humble background, who joins the police force propelled by familial sacrifices. The film is dedicated to the first responders of the country and delves into the interconnected themes of national integration, women, and youth empowerment, weaving them together to create a compelling narrative.

Jobanpreet Singh, the lead actor said, “I am thrilled to bring Shinda’s story to life in ‘Jahankilla.’ It’s a tale of resilience and determination that resonates deeply with audiences, showcasing the trials and triumphs of those who dare to dream against all odds.”

Sharing her excitement, Gurbani Gill stated, “Portraying Simran has been a journey of self-discovery. Her character’s strength and vulnerability are a testament to the complexities of human emotion. I’m honoured to be part of a film that celebrates love, sacrifice, and the indomitable spirit of Punjab.”

The movie is set for worldwide release on March 22. (ANI)

Raut Raises Issue of Kapil Dev Not Being Invited To WC

A row seems to be erupting over former Indian cricketer and world cup-winning captain Kapil Dev not being invited to the ICC World Cup final match between India and Australia at Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Maharashtra Leader of Opposition and Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar has alleged “politics” behind the issue and said, “Today there is politics everywhere… How can cricket be left? There was also politics going on. Therefore, Kapil ji (Dev) was not invited.”

On Sunday, Kapil Dev also expressed disappointment over not being invited to the World Cup venue by the organisers. “I wasn’t invited there. They didn’t call me so I did not go. As simple as that. I wanted the whole ’83 team to be there with me but I guess due to the fact that it’s such a big event and people are so busy handling responsibilities, sometimes they forget,” Kapil has said to a new channel.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also raised the issue, demanding an explanation from BCCI and ICC on the matter. In a post on X, Raut wrote, “India’s legendary cricketer Kapil Dev was not invited to the World Cup final match. The cricket icon has been insulted brazenly, and India has been humiliated…What a big shame ? BCCI, ICC should explain to the world whether they did so under pressure from rulling party of india? They owe an explanation to the entire cricket world.

On Sunday, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also slammed the organisers of the ICC World Cup final match for not inviting Kapil Dev to the event.

“It is simply unacceptable and extremely petty that Kapil Dev was not invited by the cricket establishment for the World Cup final in Ahmedabad. Like Bedi, Kapil Dev is known to speak his mind, and he did come out openly in support of the agitating women wrestlers a few months back, ” Jairam Ramesh posted on X. (ANI)
