Internet Desk: IFC Films released their first official trailer of the biopic on Brazilian football legend Pele and his inspiring football journey. The movie titled, ‘Pele: The Birth of a Legend’ will be hitting the cinemas on May 6th and will be available on-demand on 13th May.
IFC Films released a statement about the gist of the story’s setting;
“‘Pelé’ tells the miraculous story of the legendary soccer player’s rise to glory from a young boy, to the 17-year-old who scored the winning goal in Brazil’s first World Cup victory in 1958. From a life full of disadvantages and an impoverished youth in Brazil, Pelé used his unorthodox yet authentic style of play and his unbeatable spirit to overcome all odds, find greatness and inspire a country that he changed forever.”
The music for the biopic is composed by Oscar and Grammy winning Indian music composer A R Rahman. The noted Indian musician once confessed he did not know much about Pele before he actually met him last year during a glittering evening titled ‘Legend Tour of India’ at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata.
“I’m zero on sport. I only know of Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar in sport. I composed music on the biopic on Pele without even knowing him. But when I saw the movie I cried three times,” Rahman said after meeting Pele for the first time .
