Will Kabaddi score over Cricket ?
We are all aware that the game of Kabaddi has gained a lot of popularity during the past two years, with the Kabaddi league inviting all the attention during direct match telecast of Superleague on Sports channels. So, what if a Marathi film on the backdrop of this popular Indian game which is also popular in Maharashtra is made with popular stars?

Yes, we are talking about forthcoming Marathi film ‘Sur Sapata‘ which is all set to release on 21st March 2019. The film stars popular Marathi actor Upendra Limaye along with a big team of youngsters who are good at this popular Indian game of Kabaddi. There are other artists like Pravin Tarde, youngster Hansraj Jagtap, comedy King Bharat Ganeshpure and above all Sanjay Jadhav, who is playing the main villain, for a change.
Interestingly, this sports-based film is releasing at a time when another popular game of Cricket is all set to begin the Indian Premier League. So, it remains to be seen, whether Kabaddi of ‘Sur Sapata‘ will score over the cricket popularity?
