Chak De India: A real story of a hockey coach
By Manisha Vardhan, MovieTalkies.com, 7 June 2007
Yash Raj Productions Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De India, which is about a hockey coach, is actually based on the life of former Indian hockey coach of the national women’s team, Mir Ranjan Negi. The story of the film traces the life of the coach from the time he was charged with match fixing and thrown out of the Indian men’s hockey team, following the fiasco against Pakistan in the 1983 Asian Games final, to the time when he went on to coach the Indian women’s team, which won the gold in the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Even though SRK is playing the role of Negi in the film, the actual coach also has a role to play in the movie. Initially, producer Aditya Chopra wanted him on the set so that he could assist SRK in depicting his character. He was also required to give his inputs to ensure the authenticity of the scenes shot in the hockey field. But very soon, he was also given a role to play in film as well.
