The movie revolves around an out-of-luck sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm), who in his talent search heads to India to find a cricket player who can pitch in the major Baseball leagues.
There he finds a pair of 18-year-olds, played by Sharma and Mittal. The film also stars Girish Karnad, Lake Bell, Alan Arkin, Aasif Mandvi and Bill Paxton.
Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Tom McCarthy and with the music by A R Rahman, the Disney film opens May 16.
Mittal is also familiar to the international audiences thanks to his role as the elder Salim in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' while Tripathi has starred in critically appreciated movies like 'Shor: In the City' and 'Shanghai'.
