Sneha Nair, Mumbai Uncensored:

Ajay Devgn’s movie ‘Maidaan’ tells the compelling tale of football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who steered the Indian football team to victory in the Asian Games of 1951 and 1962. The film sheds light on Rahim’s pivotal role in uplifting Indian football, with Ajay Devgn portraying this unsung hero. Originally slated for a June 2023 release, the film faced delays despite completing filming. The theatrical launch is now scheduled for April 2024. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the news on X, stating, “AJAY DEVGN: ‘MAIDAAN’ TO ARRIVE THIS EID… #Maidaan – starring #AjayDevgn – gets a new release date: April 2024 #Eid… Directed by Amit Sharma.”

While discussing the film, producer Boney Kapoor expressed, “I was astonished that many people are unaware of someone as significant as Syed Abdul Rahim. He’s an unsung hero whose accomplishments deserve recognition. His team featured heroes like Chunni Goswami, PK Banerjee, Balaram, Franco, and Arun Ghosh. It takes someone like Ajay Devgn to portray Syed Abdul Rahim. With him on board, I can only hope that our film inspires young talents to take up football, leading India to bring the World Cup home.”

On Friday, Ajay Devgn took to his Instagram account to make an announcement, revealing the title of his upcoming film alongside R Madhavan and Jyotika. The film is titled ‘Shaitaan,’ as disclosed by Ajay, hinting at its exploration of supernatural thriller elements. Accompanying the title revelation, Ajay shared a gripping poster featuring the release date, adding an element of suspense and anticipation for fans eagerly awaiting this intriguing project.
