The youngster was chosen by Surjeet Hockey Academy, Jalandhar, in 2008 and Singh was adjudged the best player of Sultan of Johor Cup U-21 Tournament, Malaysia, in 2014. With his father Rampal Singh often away from home working as assistant for trucks, a young Harjeet would struggle with finances to support his dreams. Younger of two brothers, Harjeet started playing hockey in 2004 at the Gopal Hockey Academy with coach Amrit Pal Singh taking the youngster under his tutelage. If my story or movie based on me can inspire youngsters, I will feel lucky,” said Harjeet Singh while talking to Chandigarh Newsline. When I started playing hockey at Gopal Hockey Academy under Amritpal Singh sir, I only dreamt about playing for India one day. Ammy Virk paji used to talk with me for hours to know about his role. It was an emotional moment for me when the makers of the movie contacted me and the way director Vijay Kumar Arora and writer Jagdeep Sidhu brought the story on screen was something special. Whatever I have achieved is due to hockey and I cannot forget the days when I did not have money to even buy shoes for playing hockey at my village.
