Hyderabad, Sep 10 (IANS) After playing a flamboyant student in "Dhill" and a staunch devotee of Hanuman in "Sri Anjaneyam", Nitin will appear as a rugby player in his next release "Sye".

"The game just forms a backdrop, but the film is more about competitiveness," says Nitin, who pins his hopes on this youth-centric movie to return to his winning ways, after the flop of "Sambaram".

Genelia, considered a lucky mascot in the industry, is paired with him.
