 “Million Dollar Arm,” the Disney movie starring Jon Hamm that will be released nationwide on May 16 the filming took place on the Georgia Tech baseball field in Atlanta, a much more economic place to shoot than Southern California.
The film is based on  true story of two kids from India, Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, who won a television contest as the hardest throwers of their country, and about their journey to the United States to become baseball players. Hamm plays J.B. Bernstein, the sports agent who came up with the whole idea, made the reality show in India
happen, and then housed Singh and Patel as they worked with pitching coach Tom House on the USC campus.
In the movie it’s Suraj Sharma (“Life of Pi”) and Madhur Mittal (“Slumdog Millionaire”), the actors who played Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, respectively.
