The trailer has left everyone speechless after it was released on Friday, July 13. Diljit Dosanjh's only motive was to gauge the audiences' reviews for Soorma – a biopic on Indian Hockey Team Captain, Sandeep Singh whos life was a tragedy and unknown to many. Dosanjh never played a sport in his life ever but stepped into the shoes of Singh and learnt hockey for the film. Apart from Diljit, the film also stars Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi in pivotal roles. In a free-wheeling chat with mid-day online, Diljit speaks about his emotional attachment to the sport now, physical and mental pressure to turn into the reel Sandeep Singh and his struggle to eat healthy.
What has your experience been working on a biopic?
It was a beautiful journey, everything has reached its final stage and today the film will be released. All eyes are on how the film's journey translates in theatres, and how much the audience enjoys watching this film. The whole point of focus is to request people to go and watch this film, and to see whether we have succeeded in making the audience happy.
