With just the release of the trailer, Diljit Dosanjh seems to have nailed the role of Indian hockey player Sandeep Singh and everybody is excited to hear the story. Interestingly, while most of Bollywood would have loved to see the big actors play the role, Sandeep Singh said that he would not want any Khan or Kumar from Bollywood and thinks Diljit has perfectly played it. 

In an interview with a leading publication, Sandeep said Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan or even Akshay Kumar would not have suited the role. While he said it is not like they cannot play the part, they would not be convincing as Sandeep Singh. He went on to say that even if it was a beginner in Bollywood, he wanted the portrayal of the role to be as real as possible. 

However, Sandeep said they did have Diljit in mind after his role in Udta Punjab became a hit, but apart from Punjab, not many people would know him. But, he immediately gained fame in the film industry with back to back releases, and they were convinced that he would be perfect for the role. 

Sandeep Singh-biopic Soorma will hit screens all across India on July 13. The film stars Diljit Dosanjh in the lead role along with Tapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi among others.
