Breakaway


"Breakaway" is like Bollywood meets "Mighty Ducks" meets "Bend it Like Beckham"... all in Toronto, Canada.  The film's trailer, alone, looks exciting and fun.  The film stars Vinay Virmani, Russell Peters, Camilla Belle, Anupam Kher, Rob Lowe, Sakina Jaffrey, Gurpreet Ghuggi, and Noureen DeWulf.  There also cameo appearances by Akshay Kumar, Drake and Ludacris.  It will be fun to see Russell Peters act (I didn't watch "Source Code", which Peters is in, and I'll probably watch "Breakaway" before I watch "Source Code"), as he is known for his stand-up comedy performances.  "Breakaway" is a cross cultural drama film, where Rajveer, Virmani's character, is torn between his traditional Sikh family's expectations and his dream to play the game of hockey.  "Breakaway" will be released in theaters on September 30th, 2011.  Check out the trailer to "Breakaway" below!
