‘Jhund’ film poster starring Amitabh Bachchan as a football coach is out. The poster of the film first posted by the actor on his Twitter handle, shows a back-shot of Amitabh with slum-like locality in the background.
The poster to a great extent justifies the subject of the film which is based on Vijay Barse, founder of the NGO Slum Soccer, who rehabilitated street kids by turning them into soccer players.
