Naseeruddin Shah’s soon-to-release film, Hope Aur Hum has an important connection to cricket. The other protagonist of the film, Anu, played by the talented young gun, Kabir Sajid, is a fan of the game through and through. But, off screen, Kabir was clueless about cricket entirely, something that did not go down well with Naseer, who took it upon himself to coach the boy in the ways of the game. Everybody knows Naseer, who plays the patriarch of the Srivastava family in the Sudip Bandyopadhyay directed family entertainer, is a cricket enthusiast in his real life and has even hosted a show on cricket called Mid-Wicket Tales.
