“It feels very exciting when you watch any match at home (on TV) or if you are playing anywhere, suddenly you feel younger. It gets very exciting. Amit trained all the boys for a year, and they all play (football) so well. I haven’t played (football) on screen, I just have one sequence,” he added.

I was so intimidated at the beginning as I was sharing screen space with Ajay Devgn. Initially, I was very intimidated but he made me feel comfortable on set. It was an honour to share the screen with him. I hope I’ve lived upto the expectations of Amit.” Boney stated capturing the movie through the pandemic was difficult.

“During the lockdown, we had our sets standing in Madh (an area in Mumbai) for around three and a half years. When we would get a window to shoot, we had all the players coming from all over the world. Technicians would come from overseas, they would land here, shoot a match for maybe eight-ten days and there would be a lockdown again. This happened to us thrice.”
