A group of youngsters from Khandaya and Visthara theatre have joined together to make a film on indigenous popular game 0 as the background of the film. This is not like 'Lagaan' clarifies debutant director Narendra Babu speaking to media persons at Karnataka State Cricket Association. The film is interspersed with love and Kabaddi game.
