Neha Dhupia, Adil Hussain Set for Ali El Arabi’s Qatar World Cup Drama ‘Blue 52’ (EXCLUSIVE)
19.12.2023 - 15:30 / variety.com
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Neha Dhupia (“A Thursday”) and Adil Hussain (“Life of Pi”) will star in Egyptian director Ali El Arabi‘s upcoming drama “Blue 52,” about a young Indian soccer fan’s journey as a migrant worker to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. El Arabi’s “Blue 52” chronicles the true tale of a young man named Ashish, who is a fervent soccer fan.
Realizing that he can’t afford travel and ticket costs to attend 2022 World Cup where he wants to meet his childhood idol, Argentine megastar Lionel Messi, he decides to apply for a job as a stadium worker in Qatar. Production has now wrapped on “Blue 52,” which was initially meant to be a doc.
The project has become a scripted feature, marking the feature film debut of El Arabi, who made a splash at virtual Sundance in 2021 with doc “Captains of Zaatari,” about the soccer dreams of young Syrian refugees. Dhupia and Hussain play Ashish’s mother and father, respectively, who live on an island in the Indian state of Kerala where Ashish (Yadav Shashidhar) has a sheltered existence.
The film’s cinematographer is Egypt’s Mahmoud Basher, who previously worked with El Arabi on “Captains of Zaatari.” “Blue 52,” which blends reality and fiction, provides a behind-the-scenes look at the 2022 World Cup while capturing the lives of the workers who built the stadiums. “My aim is to show the workers not just as people in the shadows, but as humans who have dreams, fears and hopes that deserve to be acknowledged and seen,” El Arabi said in a statement.

‘We Dare to Dream’ Director Waad Al-Kateab and Producer Angelina Jolie Discuss Impact of Olympic Refugee Doc as Eurosport Acquires Streaming Rights (EXCLUSIVE)
Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Discovery-owned Eurosport has acquired streaming rights in 54 countries to Olympic refugee documentary “We Dare to Dream” by Waad Al-Kateab, the Oscar-nominated Syrian director of “For Sama.” “We Dare to Dream” is the story of the refugee Olympic team that competed at the 2020 games in Tokyo, which featured stateless athletes from Iran, Syria, South Sudan and Cameroon who swim, run and fight their way to safety in host nations across the world. It’s told through the personal prism of Al-Kateab while she is coming to terms with the reality that she can never return to Aleppo, where she shot “For Sama.” The doc premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and had an Oscar-qualifying theatrical run at New York City’s IFC Center in October.
