Dara Singh's last fight will hit theatres this October

Dara Singh has last acted in a Punjabi film 'Gabhru Des Punjab De' that is due for release in October this year. Directed and produced by Chandigarh based filmmaker Jaswinder Cheema, who first produced the successful 'Chann Pardesi' in 1981, the film is themed on wrestling.
"The film shows Daraji as the ustad who runs his own akhada and trains two bright wrestlers, played by the current number one wrestler, Parminder Doomchedi and Jagdish Bhola," says Cheema who has made another film before this, 'Rustam-e-Hind'.
However, "It was when I was making 'Rustam-e-Hind' that I realised that a film on wrestling should be on the real Rustam-e-Hind, Dara Singh. Hence, I made 'Gabhru Des Punjab De' and approached Daraji for the role. But he was so frail by the time we finished production of the film three months ago that for the final dubbing I had to go to his house as he couldn't make it to the studios," he says adding, "Nevertheless, throughout the shooting the man never showed any signs of weak health and carried on like a true professional. We are dedicating this film to him."
Before this, Dara Singh���������s previous film was the Shahid Kapur, Kareena Kapoor starrer, 'Jab We Met'.
