Players is a 2012 Indian heist film directed by duo Abbas-Mustan and produced jointly under Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Burmawala Partners. The film has an all star ensemble cast, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu, Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya in the lead roles, whilst Aftab Shivdasani appears in a cameo.The theatrical trailer was revealed on 3 November 2011, and the film was released on 6 January 2012.It is an official remake of 2003 Hollywood blockbuster, whose rights were bought by Players producers Viacom.
Players was filmed extensively in foreign locations such as New Zealand, Russia and even The North Pole, thus becoming the first ever Bollywood film to be shot there.The story follows a team of players, consisting of a con-man, a con-woman, an illusionist, a explosives expert, a professional hacker and a disguise master who plan to rob gold worth 100 crores, from a moving train. During the process they are double crossed by some of their own team members.
Upon release the film received mixed reviews from critics, and despite the multistar cast and the film being heavily hyped, it turned to be a surprise failure at the box office..The shocking failure of the film led to many trade industry analysts reinstating the belief of a "jinx" in Bollywood that the first-released film of the year "always fails at the box office", as seen before with films such as Halla Bol (2008), Chandni Chowk To China (2009), Pyaar Impossible! and Dulha Mil Gaya (2010).
