Amit while talking about the same said that one has to take a plunge into the water to be a swimmer. Hence if he is making a movie on football, the actor doing the film will have to be good at the game.

Since it will cover the time period of 1900 to 1960, he has to prepare the sets accordingly. Also, he has to carry out good research about the football practice of that particular time frame. Boney Kapoor will be producing the movie and the director has a good rapport with Kapoor and informed that he was the one who produced his first film. Hence he has great faith in him.
