Football boss set for Bollywood Kash boost

Football manager David Robertson has revealed filmmakers want to give his miracle Indian club the Bollywood treatment.

BBC Scotland’s hit documentary about David’s team Real Kashmir is in line for a prestigious Bafta Scotland award tonight.

And the former Rangers defender has revealed he has met producers about turning their journey to India’s top league into a drama.

Kashmir’s first professional club was only formed three years ago.

Robertson’s achievement is even more remarkable considering they are based in Kashmir’s largest city Srinagar – one of the most militarised places in the world.

The show and producer Greg Clark are up for two awards at the glittering ceremony in Glasgow tonight: in the Single Documentary and Director – Factual categories.

Robertson, 51, who will swap his tracksuit for a tuxedo to attend the event, said: “The Bollywood company met us earlier this year in Mumbai.

“They’ve been in talks and have already been around the club a lot.

“They’ve obviously watched Greg’s programme and wanted to give it the Bollywood treatment.

“It will be either a film or a Netflix-style series. I’m not sure who will be playing me, though.”

Robertson, who also played for Aberdeen, used the f-word 92 times in the acclaimed documentary, which was made in the war-torn outpost.

Meanwhile, Clark – who has already started filming a follow-up documentary on Robertson’s job – said he’s been stunned by the response to the programme.

He said: “I’ve really been overwhelmed by how much coverage it got and the positive reaction to it.”
