Chitrashi Rawat on Chak De! India’s legacy and sequel hopes

The Story in Brief

As 'Chak De! India' turns 19 on August 10, Chitrashi Rawat recounts her journey playing Komal Chautala. She says the film's ensemble of young hockey players formed a bond that remains strong, meeting first at Don Bosco ground. The movie's themes of unity and overcoming prejudice, she adds, keep it timeless for new audiences. Rawat also hints at a possible sequel.

Rawat recalls initially being cocky as a national-level player, often correcting her co-stars. Now, she feels the cast has become family, with a connection that goes beyond typical industry friendships. The film continues to draw new fans, including young children.
