"Yes, A.R. Rahman is supposed to be in town and meet Pele. He will be here on 12th night," Satadru Dutta, chief strategist of Multicon Group, who are one of the organisers, told IANS.
"He has shown keen interest in meeting Pele. He might discuss about the biopic. He is supposed to sing a happy birthday song for him too ahead of his birthday on October 23," Dutta said.
Pele, three-time FIFA World Cup winner, is scheduled to arrive in the city on October 11, and will then attend Indian Super League (ISL) defending champions Atletico de Kolkata's home game against the Kerala Blasters where he will be the guest of honour two days later.
