The meteoric rise of Satnam Singh Bhamara in the world of basketball serves as the perfect script for a sports drama. Little surprise then that Zee Studios has decided to produce a digital film based on the player, who created history in 2015 by becoming the first Indian to be selected in the NBA (National Basketball Association).

Singh, whose towering height was one of the reasons his father Balbir Singh introduced him to basketball, hopes that the film will boost the sport's popularity in India. "I am honoured that they will turn my story into a film. I hope that the film will encourage more kids to try their hand at basketball. There is huge potential for the game to grow here if more people come out in support of it."
