Harman Baweja's 'V' for
Victory
February 22, 2008. Saif
Ali Khan inscribed lady love 'Kareena' on his hand and the whole world
oogled while he tried hard to play Led Zeppelin's rock guitar. Cricketer
Usman Afzal followed soon with Amrita (Arora). And now, there's another
hot tattoo that's doing the rounds in Bollywood but more for pragmatic-n-professionally
stylish reasons. Harman Baweja reportedly has got a big 'V' tattooed on
his back. When Bollywood Hungama called up the hunk, he confirmed the news
but politely apologized stating he has been asked not to speak to the press
yet. Considering his big debut Love Story 2050 is awaiting release, we
guess it's understandable.
Baweja's business manager,
Gauri Malhotra, stated that the tattoo is meant for Harman's under production
Victory. “Harman is having a big V on his back in the centre. It's a painted
tattoo. It's just one of those elements in the film that heightens the
character,” Gauri says. Ajit Pal, director of Victory added, “V stands
for his character name Vijay. It also stands for Victory which is the title
of the film.” Harman is also having Vijay inscribed in Devnagri (Hindi)
script on his hand as well. Were you inspired by Saif's Kareena tattoo?
“Absolutely not. In smaller towns names are generally engraved on the hands.
It is inspired from reality,” Ajit refuted.
Victory is the tale of
a young man from Jaisalmer who goes on to become one of the biggest cricketers
in the world. “It is based on modern cricket.” Ajit said. An added attraction
to the premise of Victory is the presence of lots of world cricketers like
Wasim Akram, Ravi Shastri, Brett Lee etc. With IPL bidding creating news
world over and with presence of cricketers from all the cricket playing
nations in your film, do we see a league system being created in Victory
to create a novelty value? “Victory is as contemporary as IPL,” Ajit Pal
signs off.
