Film and cricket have a very old relationship. Films have been made on the lives of many players, who have been receiving a lot of love from the public. On the other hand, often news of Bollywood actresses’ affairs with cricketers also gather limelight. But when it comes to the match between India and Pakistan, everything is secondary because the occasion itself is so big. Fans support their respective teams from every corner and posters of players are seen everywhere. But 38 years ago, during the match between India and Pakistan in Sharjah, posters of this Indian film were seen everywhere, which was more in discussion than the match itself.
This is from the year 1986. Firoz Khan’s Indian action drama film ‘Jaambaaz’ was released. Anil Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia played important roles in the film. There was a special appearance of Sridevi. This film made huge profits at the box office. But before that, posters of this picture were seen all over the Sharjah Cricket Ground.
Posters of this film were put up in Sharjah Stadium
‘Jambaaz’ was directed and produced by Firoz Khan himself. It is said that even before the release of the film, its banners were seen everywhere in the stadium. Actually, this was the occasion of the final match between India and Pakistan. This film was made with a lot of love and hard work. At the same time, he did not want to leave any stone unturned in its promotion. This was the reason why they did such publicity, posters of this film were visible everywhere.
