In an interview last month, Diljit told news agency PTI: "I knew that he (Sandeep Singh) was the captain but didn't know he was shot on his back. When I started playing hockey, I realised the entire game relies on your back- you have to bend to play it. So the pressure is double. "What I didn't know was, how a man who was shot, stood up, recovered and made a world record. It was shameful, but we didn't know."
Directed by Shaad Ali, Soorma will release in Hindi and Punjabi and will hit the screens on July 13.
Diljit Dosanjh is a singer and actor and has featured in many Punjabi films. He made his Bollywood debut with the 2016 film Udta Punjab. He also featured in Phillauri, opposite Anushka Sharma and was last seen in the 2018 comedy Welcome To New York, alongside Sonakshi Sinha.
