Sundance/WireImage via Getty Images The sports comedy "Bend It Like Beckham" was an instant hit after its 2002 release. Stars Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra did months of soccer training before filming. David Beckham happily approved of his name being used in the film. The production staff was worried that people wouldn't get the title in the US. David Beckham appeared briefly as himself in archival footage. Fox Searchlight Pictures "Bend It Like Beckham" was created by British writer/director Gurinder Chadha, and the film was first released in the UK, so there were some concerns that American audiences wouldn't understand the film's filmmakers weren't sure if they would get what it meant to "bend" a soccer ball or know who David Beckham was — he hadn't yet gained the American pop-culture status he has to ESPN, the movie's US title was almost changed to "Move It Like Mia," in reference to American professional soccer player Mia Hamm. Director Gurinder Chadha told the "Burn It All Down" podcast in 2019 that "Soccer and Me" was also in the end, Chadha pushed for keeping "Bend It Like Beckham," and she was ultimately successful. In Germany, however, the film's title did change. The film was renamed "Kick It Like Beckham" for its German release. Fox Searchlight Pictures For its German release, the film changed its name to "Kick It Like Beckham" to avoid any confusion about what "bending" is a signature skill of Beckham's where he can kick the ball so it curves around obstacles and is harder for a goalie to track. But they decided to change the word to "kicking" in the title to try and reach a wider audience. According to Chadha, the title is about more than just soccer. Anupam Kher and Parminder Nagra in "Bend It Like Beckham." Fox Searchlight Pictures In a 2003 interview with BlackFilm, Chadha said that the title works on more than one level — which is why she was so adamant about keeping it for the international from being a reference to pro footballer Beckham, who she describes as the "Michael Jordan of soccer in England," it's also a metaphor for achieving life goals."[It's a] great metaphor for a lot of us, especially girls. We can see our goal but instead of going straight there, we too have to twist and bend the rules sometimes to get what we want." She elaborated in her "Burn It All Down" interview, saying, "... I never played soccer, but I understood the metaphor of it and for me it was a film about people breaking the rules, but actually you're bending the rules."She continued, "So what I did my whole life was bend the rules, and there were expectations of how I should behave as girl, as an Indian girl, and then a woman. I kept trying to duck and dive that to be who I am." Chadha wasn't a soccer expert when she created the film. Director Gurinder Chadha said she didn't know much about the sport. Fox Searchlight Pictures According to the same 2015 interview with The Telegraph, Chadha didn't know much about the sport when she was inspired to write a movie about said that she even used to write placeholders in the script like, "Jargon jargon football jargon."

According to ESPN, famed English coach Simon Clifford led their training, and he was convinced that Knightley was such a natural she could have gone professional."If I'd trained her from the age of 10 or 11, without a shadow of a doubt Keira could have been a pro," he said. Knightley had, in fact, played soccer in primary school, but she told Interview that her team "never actually scored a goal. We only kicked people." Nagra did the "bending" all on her own — and on the first take. Parminder Nagra in "Bend It Like Beckham." Fox Searchlight Pictures All that soccer training paid off for Nagra because she didn't end up having to use a professional stand-in or body double for the film. She learned how to bend the ball scene where Jess is hanging up the laundry in the backyard was the first soccer sequence that was shot, and according to Chadha, Nagra was able to get the kick right on the first take."Everybody jumped up and cheered. It was absolutely fantastic," Chadha said in a director's commentary clip from Fox Searchlight. "They were like, 'Oh she can bend a ball. It's not going to be a waste of time then.'" Some of the other castmates were real soccer players. Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra acted alongside real soccer players.

If she's gonna be in shorts, we need you to know she's got a huge burn down her leg. We didn't want to tell you before in case that influenced your choice, but now we need to tell you." "I think they thought I was not gonna give her the role because of that," the director said. But Chadha had no problem adding her scar to the script.
