In the film, it is shown that the coach of the national team is a shrewd character, often portrayed in the negative light for being jealous of Geeta and demotivating her time and again. However, the fact remains that the real-life coach of the Phogat sisters, PR Sodhi was, in the true sense, not at all like his on-screen version.

He stated that what has been shown in the film is completely wrong and there is a clear distortion of facts, for he knew Mahavir Phogat personally and respected the man from the very beginning.
