After the success of Badhaai Ho — a Bollywood film that did well at the box office director Amit Sharma is all set to helm a film about football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, He feels that his edge as a filmmaker lies in the fact that he likes chasing big ideas.

The theme of “Badhaai Ho” is about a 50-plus mother of two who has to deal with people due to an accidental pregnancy.

The film cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, Surekha Sikri and Sanya Malhotra did a fantastic job.

“I believe the audience has always been sensible with their approach in cinema; their views keep shifting from time to time. You see the wave of Indian cinema changing every couple of years.

“The concentration on the genre of films that are made keeps shifting. And when it’s an overload for the audience, it shifts again. Anything that is fresh is always welcomed,” Sharma told reporters in an email interview.

Amit Sharma’s next is on the golden years of Indian football between 1951 and 1962. The film, starring Ajay Devgn, will focus on the life on football player and coach Syed Abdul Rahim.

“We are currently in the pre-production phase. It’s a period film. We are still gathering facts about that time. At this point I can’t reveal more, but the film is set to go on floors soon,” he said.

The film will be about Rahim’s struggles and his achievements.

“He was a great human being. I think our film will find a connect with all age groups,” Amit Sharma added.

“There is no formula that I am aware of. I approach every project with sincerity and put my heart to it.

“I like working on stories that I believe in, stories that move me. And I do my best to do justice to these stories. It is pleasing to know that the audience too seems to like it.”

Apart from the yet untitled film on Rahim, Sharma said the Chrome Pictures team is developing some interesting concepts.
