MUMBAI: Shoojit Sircar is waiting to play football after lockdown gets over.

On Wednesday, the filmmaker shared a throwback group photo where he can be seen posing in a football jersey along with a group of young men in a park. It seems the photo has been clicked after a game.

"Missing my morning Kolkata football friends from all walks of life. Waiting for lockdown to get over. #Football (old pic)," shared the filmmaker on Instagram.
