The much-awaited teaser of Amitabh Bachchan starrer Jhund is finally here. The Nagraj Popatrao Manjule directorial is inspired by the real-life story of a social activist and teacher Vijay Barse, who founded a football club for underprivileged children. The club named Slum Soccer avails opportunities to all the kids from the slum who are interested in sports.
