Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is hugely excited about Shimit Amin's "Chak De India" and says playing the coach of a women's hockey team was like revisiting his past.
The film, slated to hit screens Aug 10, is his first release of the year.
Talking about his role King Khan told: "I feel hockey as a sport has been monstrously neglected in our country. I used to play the game during college. In fact, I was quite a good hockey player. So the role was a lot like going back to my past."
Shah Rukh says he had a whole lot of fun doing a sports film.
"We had real Australian female hockey players playing for the film in Australia. And it was truly ....
Casting of Chake De India along with the Photos are as follows: -
amazing watching them go through their paces. They were thorough professionals."
The Coach: Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan )
Once the hero of Indian Hockey, the best Centre forward in the world, the man a nation found a hero in. And the man it sentenced to hell.Now he has decided to make a last comeback to the game he once loved, to reclaim his lost honour and prove his point to the nation he still loves.
By doing the impossible. Making a rag-tag bunch of loser girls a team. And the World Champions.
The Girls
Jersey No.9 - Preeti Sabarwal
Preeti went to Sanawar, but on her way to Harvard from there, took a sharp left towards the Punjab University and its hockey team for reasons best known to her. Chandigarh captain, she looks like Princess Leia and plays like the terminator, the only one she's close to is her iPod. Would you then blame the rest of her mostly rural team-mates for calling her mem? She has a secret, but then, that's a secret.
Jersey No.8 - Komal Chautala
The Rohtak Express, also known as chhokra in her village for her tomboyishness, and as chhipkali in her team for her devious dribbling. Born to tough Jats, she has just one regret - that she wasn't born a boy. But she's doing all she can to make up, including not using make-up. Ever
Jersey No.5 - Bindia Naik
Experience corrupts, and too much experience corrupts completely. A veteran of field positions, federation politics and award manipulations, she could make any team's dirty tricks department proud, if she wasn't the department herself in real life
Jersey No.18 - Vidya Sharma
Just married. And it already looks like she will have to divorce hockey. She knows this is probably her last tournament but can she give up hockey for marriage?
Jersey No.10 - Gul Iqbal
Hockey legend Zafar Iqbal's grand-daughter. Her family's history is Indian Hockey's history. And nobody ever lets her forget that. Whether she wants it or not.
Jersey No.6 - Molly Zimik And Jersey No.15 - Mary Ralte
They are clubbed as one because that's how they eat, live and behave. Their school books taught them that they are Indians but Indians taught them otherwise. The only reason they play for the national team is that it is the only national team they can play for. They'd love to belong, but not to the team that calls them 'foreign', and definitely not to the people that call them 'loose'. So they stick together and play.For the love of the game, and the honour of their people
