Bollywood actor Adil Hussain’s film ’52 Blue’ is scheduled for screening at the upcoming London Indian Film Festival. Hussain expressed his attraction to stories of underdogs overcoming challenges to pursue their dreams. He shared his admiration for individuals defying societal norms and economic barriers, resonating with the film’s plot set in India, where a boy travels to Qatar to meet Lionel Messi.
The storyline, particularly the boy’s innocence in wanting to meet Messi due to his brother’s admiration, captivated Hussain. His role as a father who suppressed his son’s dream of dancing, despite being a Bharatanatyam dancer himself, presented a compelling contradiction. The London Indian Film Festival is slated to take place from July 9 to July 19, 2026.
