Anupam took to Twitter to laud the Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, who has composed the music for the film.
"Watched 'Pele' in the flight. Brilliant, moving and inspirational. Highlight of the movie was music by our own A.R. Rahman," he tweeted.
The film is co-directed by Jeff Zimbalist, Michael Zimbalist and stars Kevin de Paula, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rodrigo Santoro, Diego Boneta and Colm Meaney.
"Pelé: Birth of a Legend " is centered on the relationship between Pele and his father.
