MUMBAI: IPL team Rajasthan Royals has tied up with documentary movie ‘Fire in Babylon‘, for its theatrical release in India. Fire in Babylon will release across key metros on 21 September in all PVR cinemas.

The Rajasthan Royals saw an instant fit with the theme of the story and have engaged with Fire in Babylon to be a part of the release promotions of the movie.

Fire in Babylon is a documentary directed and written by Stevan Riley about the great West Indies cricket team of the 1970‘s and 1980‘s. It highlights the struggles the West Indies faced as a country and how cricket acted as a unification factor in bringing the many islands, which were recently independent from the British colonial rule, together under the banner of a world class cricketing unit.

Shot in a documentary style, it features the stories of Viv Richards, Malcom Marshal, Michael Holding and Andy Roberts.

Speaking on the association, Rajasthan Royals CEO Raghu Iyer said, "We found an immediate connect with the amazing story of the legendary West Indies cricket team, and that of the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. We are very happy to be associated with the movie and encourage our fans to step out and enjoy this beautiful and well told story."

Having large fan base of cricket aficionados with a keen cricketing sense, The Royals form an ideal fit for us to showcase and build awareness for the film."
