Milkha Singh is a rare blessed great in Indian sport, able to enjoy respect and adulation across generations when he was still among us.
Tributes will continue to pour in till the Tokyo Olympics next month and after for this Olympic sprinter. Real-life experiences were so gripping for the common man
that a movie was scripted, shot and released to be enjoyed when the athletics achiever was healthy and agile, in body and mind, to see the film being made and savour the recognition post-release.
