I believe Lionel Ronodeep is our Messi, says Riingo

One of the leads of the movie is still recuperating post a near-fatal accident, but Team

Messi

has decided to celebrate Ronodeep Bose’s strong willpower and fighting spirit on release day. CT spoke to the film’s cast about the culture of para football and how they are missing Ronodeep’s presence today.

Chaiti Ghoshal: Ronodeep is the heart of the film. The best part about him is that he can move on very easily. It’s because of his sheer willpower that he never gets stuck in the hurdles. Though we faced many problems while shooting the film, he never got affected.
Aryann: I’m missing Rono terribly today but I think we all should just celebrate the exceptional talent that he is by watching this film. He’s a real fighter, like the ones we see in every para and community in Kolkata. And his spirit is reflected through a game of football, which teaches one to never give up. Both Rono and para football represent indomitable fighting spirit.

Riingo

: The streets of Kolkata are home to several fighters like Messi. Street football heroes rise from the ashes to touch glory. And in this journey, they go through a lot of odds. But when they step foot on the stadium, they are the real champions who eventually become the pride of their locality. I believe Lionel Ronodeep is our Messi. He is going to help us win this match by getting fit very soon.
Pradip Churiwal: The film is not just about para football but also sends out a strong message that anything is possible if you fight for it. I hope it connects with the youth of Bengal. This film is bound to be liked by each and every member of the family.
