This week on #PopCulturePatrol, @civicstudios and I talk to you about the man that Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan is based on: Coach Syed Abdul Rahim!
Known as the Architect of Modern Indian Football, bina kisi discrimination ke Rahim Saab pure desh mein se dhund dhund ke talented footballers ko laate to give them a shot at playing for the national team.
Today, the I-League “Best Coach Award” is renamed as “Syed Abdul Rahim Award”, given to the best coach in each season by the All India Football Federation
In fact, according to Director Amit Sharma, Rahim Saab ki wajeh se hi ‘India! India!’ chants began in football.
Anyway, tell me, maidaan dekhne ka plan hai aapka? Trailer kaisa laga? Comments mein batao!
