As Budhia's story comes to the big screen with "Budhia Singh: Born to Run", we take a look at the young runner's life, and that of a few other athletes who hope to represent the country's hopes for sporting success.
On an early morning in May 2006, a lean four-year-old boy from the slums of Odisha sought the blessings of the deity Jagannath at the world-famous 12th century temple in Puri, before beginning a run that would change the course of his life.
By the time he finished that run and reached the capital city of Bhubaneswar, he had covered an astonishing 65 km in seven hours, earning an entry in the Limca Book of Records and what seemed like a place of his own in the nation’s imagination as India’s “marathon boy”.
But his fall from fame was just as meteoric, and in a couple of years he had almost completely disappeared from the public gaze. But, a decade later, as Budhia's life and relationship with his former coach, Biranchi Das – shot dead in 2008 – gets set to hit the screens as a feature film some of the public attention has returned to the child superstar.

Budhia Singh: Nobody knows me now
'I have never got special treatment. My school and hostel was free for everyone, not just me. The training that I get in school is given to everyone, not just me.'
'I want to be a sportsperson and go to the Olympics. I want to represent India there. But I am not training now.'
India's youngest marathon runner Budhia Singh looks back at his success.
IMAGE: Budhia Singh
Four-year-old Budhia Singh made history when he ran from Bhubaneswar to Puri, a distance of 65 km, in seven hours and two minutes.
He may be one of India's youngest celebrities, but Budhia continues to live in the slums of Bhubaneswar, 10 years later.
His life has been captured by first-time director Soumendra Padhi, in a film called Budhia Singh: Born To Run, and is played by Mayur Patole. His coach is played by Manoj Bajpayee. The film will release on August 5.
An extremely shy boy, Budhia recently made a trip to Mumbai to promote the film, and he seemed very uncomfortable with all the attention.
"I have come to Mumbai once before (many years ago). I had come after I became popular. All I can remember is going to a stadium in Mumbai, and then to Marine Drive to see the sea. I was here for two days," Budhia says in broken Hindi.
