Real Kashmir Football Club Nominated for International Emmy Amid Financial Struggles
Real Kashmir Football Club, a SonyLIV series inspired by the true story of Jammu and Kashmir’s first professional football club, has been nominated for the International Emmy Awards in the Drama Series category. The show, which follows the club’s formation after the 2014 Kashmir floods, faced significant financial hurdles. Actor and executive producer Vishakha Singh revealed that securing funding was a major challenge, with some producers pulling out just weeks before filming began. The team also faced the tragic loss of Sandeep Chattoo, co-founder of the club, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2023. Despite these setbacks, the series has received international recognition, marking a significant milestone for the cast and crew. The show is directed by Mahesh Mathai and Rajesh Mapuskar and is currently streaming on SonyLIV.
