Game also stars Former Miss India and Bollywood newcomer Sarah-Jane Dias, Rock On!! actress Shahana Goswami, Boman Irani, Gauhar Khan, Anupam Kher, Kangana Ranaut and Jimmy Shergill. Abhi's real life wife, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, was first considered for a lead role in the movie but had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts. However, Ash was with Abhi on the set when he shot in Greece as well as in Istanbul, Turkey.
The movie shoot also took the cast and crew to Mumbai, London and Thailand. So it comes as no surprise that Abhishek was home sick once the shoot was over. The actor took to Twitter to explain what he missed the most: "i'm happy to be leaving Istanbul and heading back to aamchi mumbai and to home food!!!"
Game has been described as a "stylish action thriller" that prides itself in being inspired by Matt Damon's popular Hollywood trilogy Bourne Identity. The movie was initially called Crooked but the title was soon changed to Game.
Abhishek plays a drug lord, Boman Irani a politician, Shahana Goswami portrays Tisha Khanna, a journalist, and Jimmy Shergill a movie star. These four strangers are invited to an island by Anupam Kher's character for one reason and that reason is Maya, played by Sarah-Jane Dias. Kangana Ranaut plays a police officer.
Sarah-Jane Dias took dancing classes in order to play her sexy character and told the Times of India, "I had a blast learning this new style of dancing. I am already a trained dancer in HipHop and Jazz, so that helped me immensely in mastering the exotic swaying moves."
Game hits theaters on March 18.
