Sandeep Singh: The real story of a living legend

Soorma: Diljit Dosanjh displays amazing sportsman spirit in the movie

Sandeep Singh is the real Soorama portrayed by Diljit Dosanjh in the movie. It’s the real life story of the greatest comeback in the history of Indian hockey. Sandeep Singh started his international hockey career in January 2004 in Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Kuala Lumpur and never looked back not even after the shooting incident.

Rise and rise of Sandeep Singh

Sandeep Singh was a well-known drag flicker with highest speed that is 145 kmph in drag flick. He was moving high on his career path when suddenly a stray bullet hit him on back to temporarily end his hockey career. But this man was determined to make a comeback and he did after remaining on wheelchair for two years.

It was in 2006 when Sandeep Singh was hit and it was when he accumulated all his courage to fight against all odds to stand on his feet and comeback to the hockey ground. He saw the silver lining in the dark sky and stood the worst time of his life to make a striking comeback.

Diljit Dosanjh has a very difficult task of essaying the painful journey of Sandeep Singh. In Soorma, it isn’t look and built that matters but it is the facial expression. The pain Sandeep Singh went through must be visible on the face of Diljit Dosanjh. And the actor performed very well. He even went to a rehab center to prepare the role of Sandeep Singh.
