India, Sept. 25 -- For showrunner and director Mahesh Mathai, the news was hard to believe. "There was an Instagram post but no information on the Emmy site, so I made a few calls and finally found that it was true, but it still did not sink in. From getting the story in hand to right people coming on board, it has been a magical journey," says the 60-year-old, who also had Rajesh Mapuskar direct some episodes. "When the show was being made, my producer Kilian Kerwin had the belief that this project should go to Emmys and reach international audiences. And, now that we are there, I believe that it will reach the right global audience it deserves. In India, people have seen it, but now more people will watch so will the international audience," he says. When asked if season two is the next move, he says, "The true story of the football club that we adapted into a fiction show has moved forward, and they have had their triumphs and failures. So, there are many elements that can be developed into the next season. That was the thought we ended the show with, and it's the right time to go into the second season. But it's too premature to say anything now, and it will take time as I am currently working on a project for Roshan Abbas' production house."...
