Free Fire Stories highlight the passion and zeal amongst the community associated with the game. This Golden edition is an in-depth look at how his resolve to make it big in an unheralded space like javelin throwing in India parallels the rise of careers in mobile gaming and Esports in the country - inspiring the youth to take the road less traveled.
