'This is an unbelievable tale of a man who faced one adversary after another with an undying spirit. His unwavering zeal and never-give-up attitude led to creating history,' read the description of the trailer on YouTube.

The trailer begins in the Indo-Pakistan war of 1965, where the story's protagonist, Murlikant Petkar, suffers from several bullet injuries. Despite the fatal wounds, he miraculously manages to survive for two years in a coma. Once he wakes up, we see a montage of his childhood, where the young Murlikant aspired to be an Olympic winner.

From there on, we see how he trains himself to become a wrestler and, eventually, a boxer. Against all odds, he goes on to become India's first Paralympic gold medalist. The real Murlikant Petkar won his first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland in 1970. Two years later, he won again at the Paralympics in Germany.
