For the 2007/08 season, Guaros de Lara bought the former outstanding Colombian World Cup goal-keeper René Higuita, who returned to play football at the age of 41.
In this work, Madhavan models his protagonist, priest Father Geevarghese, on René Higuita, the 1990 FIFA World Cup goalkeeper for Colombia.
He is known to teammates and fans as "Higuita", due to his resemblance to Colombian goalkeeper René Higuita.
