The movie is a true story of human spirit, about a player, who made headlines for his miraculous comeback after an unfortunate accident. It is a lesser known fact that Sandeep has been hailed as one of the world' most dangerous drag-flickers of all time with drag speeds of over 145 km/hr which led to his nickname, 'Flicker Singh'. 'Soorma' will also feature Angad Bedi in a pivotal role, aside from Diljit and Taapsee. Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Chitrangda Singh, and Deepak Singh, 'Soorma' is written and directed by Shaad Ali. It is slated to release on July 13.
