Paan Singh Tomar : a runner who turned into a rebel

Paan Singh Tomar is a Hindi-language film is based on the true
story of a runner who turned into a rebel. From a small town of
Madhya Pradesh, Paan Singh Tomar joins the Bengal
Engineers to escape poverty. He then becomes a runner and wins the
steeplechase event at the Indian National Games for seven years in
a row. He gives up running and his post as a subedar in the Army
and goes on to become a baaghi who wreaks havoc in the Chambal
Valley.
Tigmanshu Dhulia first learned about Tomar while
working on the set of Bandit Queen in Chambal.
Intrigued that Tomar was largely forgotten despite holding several
records, he resolved to make a film about his life. Dhulia
researched the film's background for two years, interviewing
Tomar's surviving family members and visiting his native village in
Bhind.
The film was shot in Chambal and in the actual barracks Tomar lived
in at Roorkee. To prepare for his role, Irrfan
Khan trained rigorously with steeplechase coaches, even
breaking his ankle at one point during filming. He called the
experience "the most physically and mentally demanding film of my
career". The film has also been shot in the uphills of one of the
oldest army cantonments in India, Roorkee. The Dramatics Team of
the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has
also contributed to several scenes shot in the cantonment including
the race sequence.
