Currently hard at work giving shape to the script of the Zee5 venture, the team of writers recently headed to Ballo Ke — Singh's hometown and the place where it all started — with their muse. "I got a chance to reminisce the past 15 years of my life. I revisited people, places and incidents after over a decade. Going back to my school in Ballo Ke was the trip's highlight," says the sports star, who played for St. John's Edge of the National Basketball League of Canada in the last season.

Hoping to take the project on floors soon, the makers will zero in on the principal cast and the director only after the script has been finalised. Ashima Avasthi, Head & VP, Zee Studios Originals, adds, "In our country where basketball has miles to go before it enjoys the same kind of popularity that cricket does, Satnam Singh's difficult yet heart-warming journey needs to be celebrated."
