The trailer of Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited film, Maidaan, has finally been released. Maidaan is based on football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, under whose leadership the Indian football team won the Asian Games in 1951 and 1962. The film was delayed multiple times despite the shoot being wrapped. However, the trailer is finally out now.
A special launch event was organised in Mumbai to unveil the trailer. It was attended by the film’s lead cast – Ajay Devgn and Priyamani – and Boney Kapoor. Director Amit Sharma and the rest of the cast were also in attendance and they dressed like their characters and posed with footballs.
Watch the trailer here:
Ajay would be essaying the role of Syed Abdul Rahim to tell the story of this unsung hero who was responsible for taking Indian football to new heights and winning accolades for the country. The team at that time comprised of illustrious players like Chunni Goswami, PK Banerjee, Balaram, Franco, and Arun Ghosh.
Talking about the film, producer Boney Kapoor had earlier said, “I was amazed that not many are aware of someone as significant as Syed Abdul Rahim. He’s an unsung hero whose achievements must be saluted. His team had heroes like Chunni Goswami, PK Banerjee, Balaram, Franco, and Arun Ghosh. It takes someone like Ajay Devgn to play Syed Abdul Rahim. With him on board, I can just hope that our film inspires youngsters to play football and India soon to bring the World Cup home." The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
The film will clash with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s upcoming film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is all set to release on Eid. Meanwhile, Ajay will soon be seen in the supernatural film Shaitaan. It will be released in cinemas on March 8 this year.
