  1. B is a tricky connect...but a small bit of knowledge can help...I can identify 3 movies here wherin Subhash Ghai has played a role...so I suppose Subhash Ghai might have played a role in the other movies also....
    Subhash Ghai was an unsuccessful actor before making Kaalicharan...
    So I believe the connect is Subhash Ghai.

  2. The above mentioned films were the only films of 'SUBHASH GHAI' WHERE HE WAS ONLY AN ACTOR and not the director,you missed one relatively unknown film 'BHARAT KE SHAHEED'.

  3. from the above answers, i am told its subhash ghai. i REALLY didnt know that!

    by the way, the answer to the first question is related to subhash ghai too!

    its whistling woods, his film institute!

    wonder how he is connected to the cricketers, though!

  4. A. The institute is Whistling Woods,Started n run by Subhash Ghai and the remaining are affliated partners of the institute.
    B. All the cricketers here are connected to Headingley Stadium at Leeds(connect: Leeds Metropolitian University)
    C. The movies are either directed or acted by Subhash Ghai....

  5. Now I got it...!!!
    Ghai has worked in movies with names of these cricketers...either as a Producer or as a Director or as Both...
    Rahul was a movie of Mukta Arts.
    Yuvraj was a Anil Kapoor Starrer
    Vishwanath was a Shatrughan Sinha Movie
    So was Kaalicharan. (A movie named Alwyn Kaalicharan which is the exact name of the West Indian cricketer was also planned with Anil Kapoor in lead, but didnt work out)
    Iqbal (Cricketer Asif Iqbal of Pakistan) was a movie produced by Mukta Arts

    Gambhir is something I couldnt crack...
