Harbhajan Singh Reveals His Dream Biopic Star – You Won’t Believe Who He Picked!
One of the world’s most celebrated players belongs to India, and that one is Harbhajan Singh. The cricketer’s talent and achievements have known no bounds in cricket throughout his career. But that was not all that he wished to talk about recently he discussed something new-an allegedly proposed Bollywood biopic that revolves around his life. During one of his latest interviews, when asked with whom he would like to see playing him in the movie, Harbhajan stunned everyone with his choice. He wants Vicky Kaushal to be able to play him in the film.
Why Vicky Kaushal is Harbhajan’s Best Bet
According to Harbhajan Singh, Vicky Kaushal would be the right guy for the job to depict his life on the big screen. Vicky has been an impressive lad for movies like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Sardar Udham, and plays the role of deep-emotion characters with ease and flair. He feels that the film must capture all the ups and downs of a person’s career, which he is capable enough for, because his career had such ups and downs from cricket field to personal aspects of life.
Harbhajan recently said in an interview, “Vicky has the emotional depth and screen presence that I believe is needed to portray my life accurately.” According to Harbhajan, it is Vicky’s emotional depth and his ability to connect with the audience that makes him the best fit for the role.
What makes Vicky Kaushal even more fit for the character is his versatility. Vicky Kaushal proved his caliber by performing various types of roles from that of a fighter in Uri to that of a revolutionary in Sardar Udham. His capability of performing roles with immense emotional depth provides him an immense opportunity to become Harbhajan, who faced the entire trauma both on the field and in life.
Many thought Harbhajan would select the popular Punjabi actor and singer, Diljit Dosanjh, for the role. He is really loved in films like Udta Punjab and Soorma and, just like Harbhajan, he has a deep association with Punjab. But Harbhajan assures that although he respects Diljit’s talent, he thinks Vicky Kaushal will be a better choice to depict his story on the big screen.
A Biopic More Than Cricket
If the biopic of Harbhajan is ever made, it will not be a cricketing movie. There are ups and downs in Harbhajan’s life, both on and off the field. His rise to fame, winning the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, controversies, and the pressures of being a public figure would all be part of the story.
He can also be shown by the directors about his personal life: his family, problems, and how he changes from a cricket hero to entering commentary, then reality TV. The film would not only capture the cricketer but also the man behind him.
One of the most convincing incidents of Harbhajan’s life is his ability to take himself out of crisis, and this is something that should be explored in depth in the biopic. Right from facing unfair criticism to even bad times in his personal life, Harbhajan had come out stronger each time, and these moments of rising above would make for a very fine story.

Vicky Kaushal: A Transformative Actor
Vicky Kaushal has in the past proven that he can play any character he wants. Committing to real-life characters as in Sardar Udham makes him the best candidate for the role of Harbhajan. Vicky would portray the inner struggle of the character and the triumph in the same manner.
Vicky believes in becoming the character he plays, which perfectly goes with Harbhajan’s vision for the biopic. Harbhajan’s life has had its share of emotional highs and lows; only an actor who can truly immerse himself in the character can do justice to that complexity on screen.
Grounded acting is something that will suit Vicky for representing the personality of Harbhajan. This humble, determined, and hardworking personality can be seen in Vicky, too, as he will portray Harbhajan’s character, whether it is about his wins or inner battles.
What to Expect from the Biopic
If it’s made into a biopic, then the fans will surely wait to watch an inspiring and touching film. It will surely capture the entire journey of Harbhajan Singh from the Jalandhar streets to become one of the greatest successful cricketing personalities India has ever witnessed. It will also depict his big moments in cricket along with personal growth and off-field challenges.
Fans will also get a chance to experience all the struggles that accompany fame: stress from expectations and controversies that may surface in one’s public life. It would be a story of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
The movie can extend his journey beyond cricket, that is, how he is developing himself as a human beyond the game, specially becoming a coach to youngsters and how he further contributed to Indian cricket. He would also show passion for the game and for Indian cricket. This biopic would not be about the career alone but his legacy too.
Harbhajan’s Dream Biopic
While it is still debatable whether his biopic would be made, surely Harbhajan’s decision about the actor to portray him has generated much buzz. It was Vicky Kaushal, an actor with remarkable acting skills and with the capability of connecting to the audiences in a way no one else could. And whether it is happening this biopic or not, fact remains one thing; surely this life story of Harbhajan deserves telling. They wait eagerly in the theater to know whether that fantasy biopic someday soon will hit the celluloids.
If it is made, then this film can be one of the greatest outings both in India and around the globe. The journey of Harbhajan that has inspired millions of people now would make a great biopic if not merely for Vicky Kaushal’s amazing acting.
