What is Maidaan about? 

Maidaan chronicles the life and journey of Syed Abdul Rahim, a pioneering football coach (1952 and 1962) who revolutionised the sport in India. Due to his contribution and dedication to football, the Indian Football Team was called "Brazil of Asia". In the film, Ajay Devgn plays the titular role of Syed Abdul Rahim, a man who put the Indian football team on the global map.

Maidaan has been one of Ajay Devgn's long-pending films. The film had been in the making since 2019 after its announcement in the same year. Backed by producer Boney Kapoor, the biopic witnessed multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and cyclone Nisarga. After over five years, the film finally hit the big screen on April 12. Directed by Amit Sharma, the film also stars Priyamani and Gajraj Rao in pivotal roles.
