Cricketer Harbhajan Singh has said he would welcome a biopic on his life and wants actor Vicky Kaushal to play his role. Speaking to PTI, the former off-spinner credited his achievements, including 417 Test wickets and India's first Test hat-trick, to divine will, not his own importance. The 46-year-old shared a self-written Urdu couplet reflecting his humility: 'Ye Kitna bada wahem tha, ke main aham tha.' He also acknowledged the sacrifices of his parents and five sisters. For the film's title, Harbhajan suggested 'Jazba' (Passion).
