In the epic and fantasy driven tale, Dev Joshi plays Baal Veer, a savior of children and protects the innocent from evil powers. He is the ideal superhero in all aspects and teaches kids to respect others and always be honest and lead a truthful life. In the ongoing track of Baal Veer, Spider-Man will mark his presence and do what he does best - join forces with him to save a group of children from evil doers.

Dev Joshi said, "When my director told me that Spider-Man will be making an appearance on my show initially I thought he was playing a trick on me. Later on, when I saw that Spider-Man was truly a part of the act, I was overjoyed. I am a huge fan of Spider-man and have a vast collection of his comics, action figures and posters. There are a lot of superheroes in the comic universe, but my favorite one has always been Spider-Man. I truly like all his super-powers of climbing walls, scaling sky scrapers and super human strength. It was a dream come true for me to share screen space with my favorite superhero. I hope such opportunities come my way more often."

Watch Baal Veer and Spider-Man join forces to fight the forces of evil.

MUMBAI: India's No.2 cueist Kamal Chawla and in-form Faisal Khan registered contrasting wins on Wednesday to set up the snooker final, in the Cricket Club of India (CCI) Classic Billiards and Snooker Tournament. 

Playing dazzling snooker, Faisal, who shocked title favourite Aditya Mehta in the quarterfinals, demolished Delhi-based Pushpender Singh of Railways 5-0 in the best-of-nine frames semifinal.

Bhopal-based Railways cueist Chawla overcame Sourav Kothari of PSPB 5-3 in a tight last-four contest. 

Asian Championship bronze medallist Chawla led 2-1 after dropping the opening frame that included a brilliant 89 break in the third frame in reply to Kothari's 76 in the first. He went ahead 3-2 but Kothari drew level to set the stage for a humdinger. 

But Chawla capitalised on small but crucial leads in the seventh and eighth frames that left Kothari little room for recovery and a closer finish. 

Results: 

Semifinals: Kamal Chawla (Rlys) bt Sourav Kothari (PSPB) 9-84(76), 58-33, 89(89)-0, 24-66(47), 57(40)-43, 49-60, 62-31, 59-36; Faisal Khan (Rlys) bt Pushpender Singh (Rlys) 64-42, 71(53)-9, 74(41)-39, 63-14, 76(76)-0.

MUMBAI: India's number five Faisal Khan shocked title favourite Aditya Mehta 4-2 to storm into the semifinals of the CCI Classic tournament here today.

Khan produced the most significant win of his fledgling career and the tournament's biggest upset by edging out snooker professional Mehta in an exciting best-of-seven-frame quarter-final.

Khan raced to a 2-0 lead that included a break of 63 in the second frame. But Mehta stormed back to draw level with a 51 break in the third and 80 in the fourth.

Khan regained the lead with a break of 41 in the fifth frame and trailed by 56 points in the crucial but eventful sixth frame.

Mehta, who missed the yellow, forfeited 54 precious points via the foul-and-miss that eventually gave Khan a slender four-point advantage.

With only the blue, pink and black remaining, Mehta missed the blue placed at the mouth of the pocket. Khan returned to pot the colour with a long cannon before ending Mehta's campaign on the black.

"It is my first tournament after my return from the pro tour and I feel I played well. I should have sealed the sixth frame but I missed the yellow and made silly mistakes," said a disappointed Mehta, who now heads to Wales for the Wuxi Classic qualifiers.

"I needed just one good visit to get back into the match. I would have loved to have won this title as it would have surely boosted my confidence in Wales," he added.

"The early lead made my life easy," said a delighted Khan who will take on Pushpender Singh of Delhi in the semis.

"While Aditya made quite a few mistakes, I capitalised on my chances. It was not an easy win though. He made it really tough for me."

The remaining three quarter-finals went down to the wire. While Sourav Kothari rallied from 0-2 to beat Rupesh Shah, and Pushpender Singh rallied from 1-2 to prevail over Himanshu Jain of Andhra Pradesh, India No. 2 Kamal Chawla recovered from a 1-3 deficit to halt India No. 4 Dharmender Lily of Punjab.
