How the ten children, each with his own sports obsession, live together is the crux of my tale

As you know dear reader, I am a leading producer of Hindi feature films.
Two current events have inspired me to produce a spate of sports dramas, and biopics.
1. We’re rocking at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, in hitherto unheralded and unknown sports.
2. 75 ‘rustic games and activities’ have been added to schools, in the ‘Bharatiya sports’ scheme.
So, my bouquet of sports movies that will roll out are the following—a mix of drama, black comedy, spoof and historical
The lead character, Langdi Singh Chaddha, lives in a village, where all the citizens walk on one leg (utilising both legs is considered blasphemy).
One day Chaddha, accidentally stubs his toe on a tree stump and is forced to use both legs.
People are shocked at this outrage.
The head of the Panchayat, Bully Bachchan, labels him a traitor, an outcast and begins a #BoycottLangdi backlash—Bully Bachchan tells Langdi the only way to regain honour, and prove his patriotism, is for him to go to Pakistan with a team of ‘Langdi-ites’, beat them on their home ground and come back winners.
Langdi leads and trains a five member team comprising himself, Short Leg, Fine Leg, Leg Slip and Lego—After a nail biting climax, Langdi and his team return victorious.
(Side tidbit—Aamir Khan and I are in court for rights on the title. He believes Langdi Singh Chaddha is too close to the title of his forthcoming release. So, I may have to opt for my Plan B title, Leg-aan).
