Ajay Devgn’s ‘Maidaan’ Bags Eid Release

In a recent announcement, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh revealed that Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated sports drama ‘Maidaan’ is all set to hit the theaters on Eid in April 2024. Directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma and co-produced by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios, ‘Maidaan’ pays tribute to the golden years of Indian football. Ajay Devgn steps into the shoes of the legendary coach Syed Abdul Rahim, a pivotal figure in the history of Indian football.

‘Maidaan’ Overview

‘Maidaan’ brings to life the inspiring story of Syed Abdul Rahim, who served as the coach and manager of the Indian football team from 1950 until his demise in 1963. Dedicated to the resilience and dedication of Indian football during those years, the film features a stellar cast, including Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Bengali actor Rudranil Ghosh. The narrative explores the challenges and triumphs of that era, offering a cinematic experience that blends sports, history, and human spirit.

The journey of ‘Maidaan’ has not been without its share of challenges. The film’s set had to be dismantled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 lockdown, disrupting the production timeline.

Despite these setbacks, the team has persevered, and the announcement of an Eid release indicates a triumphant return for ‘Maidaan.’
