Mehtab Hossain is among the well-known Indian footballers who have made their presence felt with their amazing skills on the field. Dhagaa Production announced their new feature film “Mehtab”.

It is a biopic of the legendary footballer Mehtab Hossain.

The film will be directed by Bappa and produced by Suvankar Mitra.

The first look teaser poster of the film was launched at the event which took place at the East Bengal Club Ground.

Mehtab Hossain, Bappa, Suvankar Mitra, Debabrata (Nitu) Sarkar, Alvito D’Cunha, Rahim Nabi, Dipankar Dey, Sosthi Duley, Arnab Mondal, Amit Das, and others were present at the event.

Mehtab Hossain expressed his happiness and gratitude to the makers of the biopic. “The person playing the character onscreen must have the right body language and confidence. He must show that he is the best of the 22 players playing on the field. That is what I tried to do when I play and that is what the supporters look in me when they see me play. I am excited to see how the film turns out to be”.

The director said “Football is an emotion for the Bengalis. However, the status of Indian football is at an all-time low. With this biopic, we want to show the struggles and achievements of Mehtab Hossain. I first read about his life and struggles in a book. Then I met him and I got to know about his journey from Park Circus to a national level footballer. It will be worth watching. The film will be a heady mix of entertainment and motivation”.

The cast of the film will be revealed later, said the director.
