Diljit Dosanjh: Told producers I would do a romantic film for free but not Soorma

Directed by Shaad Ali, Soorma also stars Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi. Also present at the trailer launch were Sandeep Singh and his brother Bikram Singh, who was instrumental in his younger brother’s recovery and comeback to hockey.

Sandeep heaped praise on Diljit, saying that no other actor could have done justice to his story the way the actor did.

“No one else but Diljit would have been able to do the character. There’s no one beyond him who could have done it. The best part about him is that you have to tell him only once, then he just does it exactly the way you want,” he said.
