Amazon Prime Video is all geared up to get you going Kabaddi Kabaddi with its upcoming sports docu-series Sons of The Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers. It is a documentary that is unscripted, raw, unfiltered, and about the players, coaches, and the management's lives in the franchise.

In a recent press conference, the owner of the team, Abhishek Bachchan shared the 'personal touch' that is involved in the name 'Jaipur Pink Panthers', and said, "Jaipur Pink Panthers has a very personal touch with me. Whatever work I do in life, I feel it should have a personal connect. When I was little, my father used to call me out saying 'Tiger' then after a few years I thought even I should call him something as an answer. One day when he came back home from shooting, he asked me 'How are you tiger? I replied,' I am fine Panther. How are you?' and I was 4-5 years old then. Since then it became like a fun thing, he used to call me Tiger, I used to call him Panther. If there was an animal that we wanted to choose, I was sure that it was Panther because that is how I used to call my father."

He further added, "Pink is my daughter, Aaradhya's favorite colour. So I thought that Pink and Panther would be nice. My wife Aishwarya has worked in the film Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin, so that's a connect to Aishwarya. Jaipur was the city, Aishwarya and I came together, so that's why Jaipur. If you see, our Pink Panther has blue-green eyes which are the same as my wife's. So there is a personal connect to everything about Jaipur Pink Panthers."

For the uninformed, the series is produced by BBC Studios India and directed by two-time BAFTA Scotland Winner Alex Gale, who follows Jaipur Pink Panthers through their journey in Season 7 of Pro Kabaddi League.

The Sons Of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers are set for Le Panga! on December 4.
