This series helps to show us Maradona’s life, triumphs, embarrassments (like drug abuse), controversies (like assault allegations by his girlfriend and of course the infamous hand of God) that have been extensively documented in books and the press.
The director, Marketing, India, Amazon Prime Video, Sushant Sreeram has said in a statement that “Great stories transcend borders and there is nothing more universally inspiring than a story of sheer genius, motivation, and hard work.

We are delighted to release the series in India in 5 local languages, enhancing its appeal and reach even further, and giving Maradona’s Indian fans a chance to experience the story of a widely-adored man, in a language of their choice.”
