Coin Caper: Vidya's 'Striker' Points…

After her winning stint with an outdoor sport: hockey and her subsequent success with 'Chak De', Vidya Malvade is looking inwards. Er, rather, she's sashayed her way into an indoor sport flick: 'Striker,' a carrom centric opus which spotlights her in a pivotal role.

"My character is called Devi," states Vidya. "She's a girl who comes from a lower middle class Maharashtrian background and she's also very grounded herself. She's focussed, good at academics and keeps pulling up Surya, the character played by Siddharth."

Elaborating on the 'Striker' experience, she says, "It was great working with Siddharth because he is such an unselfish actor. He's not the type who's only worried about how he looks on screen. He makes you comfortable as a co star and wants you to give off your best too. I've liked the two films that Chandan directed and I'd say that he's made a brilliant film."
