Mumbai: Ajay Devgn is set to dazzle audiences once again, this time with his upcoming sports drama “Maidaan.” Directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, the film delves into the captivating narrative of legendary football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, hailed as the architect of modern Indian football.

The recently released trailer offers a glimpse into India’s glorious football history, set against the backdrop of the 1950s and 60s. Devgn portrays the passionate Rahim, whose unwavering dedication to the sport earns him the title of ‘football’s devotee’ from his wife, played by Priyamani.

Rahim’s vision transcends societal barriers as he handpicks underdogs, disregarding their socio-economic backgrounds, to form a formidable national football team. With aspirations of putting India on the global football map, Rahim trains his team relentlessly, aiming for nothing less than a gold medal in the Asian Games.

The film promises an enthralling journey filled with challenges and triumphs, as Rahim’s determination and the team’s resilience are put to the ultimate test. Notably, during Rahim’s tenure, India achieved remarkable milestones, including gold medals in the Asian Games and a historic semi-final appearance in the Summer Olympics.

Joining Devgn in this cinematic endeavour are Priyamani, Gajraj Rao, and Rudranil Ghosh. Co-produced by Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios, “Maidaan” is poised to captivate audiences upon its release on Eid this year.

As the film gears up for its release, it is set to clash with Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s action thriller “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” promising an exciting battle at the box office.
