Diljit was unsure about ‘Soorma’
the trailer launch of ‘Soorma’ on Monday. Actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh admits he wasn’t sure he could play former Indian hockey skipper Sandeep Singh in his upcoming film Soorma.
He was interacting with media at the trailer launch along with co-star Taapsee Pannu, director Shaad Ali, composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyricist Gulzar, producers Chitrangada Singh and Sneha Rajani, Sandeep Singh and his elder brother Bikramjeet Singh.
“When Shaad sir narrated this script to me, then I didn’t believe it and then I went to Sneha madam and told her ‘cast me in any film of yours for free of cost but don’t cast me in a hockey-based film because it will require lot of hard work and I think I will not be able to pull this off’,” Dosanjh said.
“But they were convinced with me and then again, when I went through the story of the film, I felt that it would have been biggest mistake of my career if I wouldn’t have worked in this film,” he added. —
