Celebrated for his flamboyant style and unwavering resilience, Singh has left an indelible mark on cricket.

Cricket has been my greatest love and source of strength through all the highs and lows. I hope this film inspires others to overcome their own challenges and pursue their dreams with unwavering passion."

The film is co-produced by Ravi Bhagchandka, renowned for Sachin: A Billion Dreams and Sitaare Zameen Par. This marks the second time Ravi is bringing a cricketer's story to the big screen.
