...तरीही सोमनाथ अवघडेने चित्रीकरण केले शिवाजी पार्कमध्ये रंगला 'फ्रि हिट दणका'चा क्रिकेट सामना

 ...तरीही सोमनाथ अवघडेने चित्रीकरण केले 

शिवाजी पार्कमध्ये रंगला 'फ्रि हिट दणका'चा क्रिकेट सामना 

खेळाडूंची धावपळ... चौकार... षटकार... अटीतटीचा सामना...प्रेक्षकांमध्ये कोण जिंकणार याची उत्सुकता... तुम्हाला सर्वांनाच प्रश्न पडला असेल ना की, ही क्रिकेटची मॅच नक्की कुठे सुरु आहे. तर ही मॅच रंगली होती दादरच्या शिवाजी पार्कच्या मैदानात. 'फ्रि हिट दणका'ची टीम विरुद्ध मीडिया आणि शिवाजी पार्क मैदानातील खेळाडू. या अटीतटीच्या सामन्यात अखेर 'फ्रि हिट दणका'ने आपला दणका दाखवलाच. इतक्या दिवसांची मेहनत अखेर फळाला आली. या क्रिकेटच्या  सामन्यात 'फॅन्ड्री' फेम सोमनाथ अवघडे, अपूर्वा एस., 'सैराट' चित्रपटातील सुपरहिट जोडी अरबाज शेख(सल्या) आणि तानाजी गालगुंडे(लंगड्या) हरीश थोरात, सुनील मगरे यांच्यासह अनेकांनी या मॅचमध्ये सहभाग घेतला होता. विशेष म्हणजे विजेत्यांचे कौतुक करण्याबरोबरच या सामन्यात सहभागी झालेल्या शिवाजी पार्कमधील क्रिकेटप्रेमींनाही यावेळी क्रिकेट किट देऊन गौरवण्यात आले.
