Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dara Singh was India's original crossover action hero—Hindi and Punjabi cinema, plus The Great Gama biopic—making his self-directed vulnerability here genuinely subversive.
This is a direct remake of 1979's The Champ, itself a remake of 1931's The Champ—proving some stories about fathers and sons transcend decades and continents.
