Actor Ajay Devgn had kick-started the shooting of his upcoming film with director Amit Sharma of Badhaai Ho fame in August this year. Touted to be a biopic on Syed Abdul Rahim, the man who’s considered the founding father of Indian football, the film is set in 1952-62. In the poster that was dropped earlier, a giant football-cup trophy features in focus with a glimpse of a stadium in the background. The poster appears like a big post stamp with a caption that read ‘The golden era of Indian football 1952-1962’.

This is for the first time that Ajay will be seen doing a sports biopic. The actor is learning to play football quite rigorously having not played the sport in his entire life before.
