'Flying Sikh' Milkha Singh attended a special screening of Stephen Hopkins-directed 'Race', a biopic on his idol, late American Olympian Jesse Owens. Makers of the film had reached out to Singh to watch the movie, a request he readily agreed. “My conversations with him mostly revolved around the sport. I remember when we met at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich he narrated his journey to me. It was really inspiring. Both of us are self-made men. I am looking forward to watching the film,” Milkha Singh before watching the movie. The former Indian sprinter said that the movie should be dubbed in Hindi too and he would request the makers to do so.
