How Journeyman Chain Singh pipped young guns for a long-awaited bronze

Published by Parlour News

Niraj Kumar was not even in his teens when Chain Singh first competed in seniors. Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar was still shooting balloons at village fairs when the seasoned Armyman won his first major international medals, the Asian Championship gold and Asian Games bronze in 2014. But as the two Gen Zs — Tomar, especially — grew up to become the faces of the gun-toting army of teenage shooters, Chain, now 35, became the forgotten man of Indian shooting, a face in the crowd, until Friday.

And it was the certified journeyman, not the young guns, who finished on the podium. Story continues below this ad Chain Singh won India’s first medal of the new shooting season, clinching a bronze with a score of 443.7 to pip Tomar, who finished fourth after scoring 432.6.

With no update on a new date, it is rumoured that the period drama, which is based on the Battle of Garibpur during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, may release directly on an OTT platform.

While the CCI back then had noted that Ronnie couldn’t prove the allegations, our trade source maintains that since this dispute, the dealings between the producer and the multiplex chains haven’t been …
