Sandeep will sit in a train after a long gap. He was shot 12 years ago when he was travelling in a train and he hasn't sit in a locomotive since then. He was paralysed for 2 years after the incident and it was only because of his determination and love for hockey that he could come back and win medals for India. He has definitely won the medical battle and come out victorious, but the incident is still fresh in Sandeep's mind. This small journey might help Diljit and Shaad in making him overcome his biggest phobia. 

Soorma was deliberately shot in Sandeep's hometown Shahabad as the director was keen on capturing the real essence of his journey. The trailer of the film has been widely applauded. It tells the inspiring story of a player who made headlines for his miraculous comeback after an unfortunate accident.

Soorma also features Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi in pivotal roles. Produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Chitrangda Singh and Deepak Singh, Soorma is written & directed by Shaad Ali and is slated to release on July 13, 2018.
