On days when Diljit Dosanjh is not busy taking the world by a storm with his impeccable vocals, he stirs one up with his equally brilliant acting skills. From ‘Patiala peg’ to ‘Udta Punjab’ and ‘Phillauri’, his transition has been as smooth as that drink. From singing, acting to showing off his classy style statement, Diljit Dosanjh has turned into an unstoppable and undefeatable one-man army.

Sandeep Singh is a hockey legend in his own right and one of the greatest athletes of all time. Portraying a character that is a legend in real life is not easy at all, but after watching the trailer we were shocked by how effortlessly he pulled off the role. Well, this is not a day’s work, nor was it a child’s play for Diljit.

Dosanjh underwent rigorous training for ‘Soorma’ and pushed himself to the extremes to achieve a physique like the former captain Sandeep Singh, and trained under him to understand the technicalities of the sport and master it to some extent. The fact that Dosanjh looks like an athlete in the trailer proves how hard he’s worked to achieve the mannerisms.

Recently, the producers shared a video of his training. In fact, Dosanjh too shared the video on his social media calling this the toughest role he has ever played. He even thanked Sandeep Singh for mentoring him.
‘Soorma’ is based on the life of ‘Flicker Singh’ aka Sandeep Singh, former captain of the Indian hockey team, a penalty corner specialist and a badass drag-flicker, who made a miraculous comeback after a life-threatening accident that left him almost paralyzed. ‘Soorma’ also stars Angad Bedi and Taapsee Pannu and is slated to release on July 13, 2018.
