As per the Indian Express, while talking about the movie, Diego Maradona director Asif Kapadia said, “When I was growing up, Maradona was the best player in the world. There was no doubt about it. I’m interested in him as a character, though. That’s the thing. There have been lots of great players. He was the best.”
“In the mid-’90s, when I was a student, I read a book about him. That was like the germ of the idea, thinking that this guy’s life is crazy, amazing, and epic. At the time, I was still making short films. But I remember thinking, 'It will be great if one day I could make a film on Maradona'. It took 25 years, but there you go,” he added.
Diego Maradona will soon stream on Lionsgate Play, and you can watch it with your OTTplay Premium subscription.
