    Abdul Rahim was the coach of the Indian national football team from 1950 until his death in 1963 and a former player.

    He is regarded as a pioneering figure in the history of modern Indian football.

    He led the Indian team to the semi-finals of the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Football tournament making India the first ever Asian country to achieve this place.

    It was about time that a movie was made which would honour the life of the forgotten hero of Indian football.
