Southpaw

MUMBAI: Star Movies Select HD will broadcast a film that is the true portrayal of fighting back to redemption. The television premiere of Southpaw will be held on 17 September at 9 pm. The feeling is echoed by the riveting story of Billy Hope starring Jake Gyllenhaal and acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua.

Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a beautiful and loving wife played by Rachel McAdams, an adorable daughter enacted by Oona Laurence and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) leaves him, Hope hits rock bottom. Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.

It’s a story of a boxing champion, who lost everything that he loved and resolves to fight back with every ounce of his strength and will to earn his life back. Southpaw dares to depict a fighter’s greatest challenger -- himself.

Artistes like Eminem, 50 Cent, Gwen Stefani and The Weekend have played a pivotal role in making Southpaw an inspiring story of hope.

The film has also gained a lot of appreciation for its music.
