Harrdy stated in his brief post that it was his desire to represent his country because of his passion for cricket, but that due to an injury, he had to leave cricket and pursue his singing career instead. But fate was on his side, and by coincidence, the singer was cast in the film 83, which gave him the opportunity to act.
For the uninitiated, Harrdy Sandhu has represented India at the U-19 level, but due to an injury, the singer was set to quit cricket.
