Harbhajan Singh, who was a member of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup winning team, said goodbye to international cricket in December 2021. Bhajji made his screen debut with the Tamil sports drama film Friendship. In this he was seen in the role of Bhagat Singh. This movie was made at a cost of Rs 8 crore but failed at the box office.
