Paan Singh Tomar (2012)

The story talks about Paan Singh, who impresses everybody with his athletics skills in Indian Army and is selected for training in the 5000m event. But after some persuasion, he picks the 3000m steeplechase as the event where he would compete and it turns out to be an extremely fruitful choice as he goes on to win the National title for seven straight years.

But life takes a completely different turn for the star after he is charged with an illegal acquisition and soon gets mixed with a gang, all of whom are against one person(Bhanwar Singh), who has placed the acquisition against him.

The climax sees Gopi, played by Nawazuddin Siddique, who was part of the gang, betray his fellow gang mates and a shootout result in everyone, including Paan Singh, being killed.

For the title role, Irrfan was awarded the National Award for the Best Actor.
