"The single line brief for the campaign was 'the birth of a footballing nation.' The creative is loyal to the magnitude of this project and brings alive the dreams, aspirations and talent that will ultimately see India take its rightful place in football world. The track is brilliant and we are confident it'll have the nation buzzing in anticipation for the 12th October launch of the league.
