Mumbai: Anticipation mounts for Ajay Devgn’s forthcoming project, “Maidaan”, a biographical sports drama directed by Amit Sharma. Paying homage to Indian Football’s golden era (1952-1962) under Coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who led the team to triumphs in the Asian Games of 1951 and 1962, the film promises to be a stirring tale of national pride. Despite wrapping up principal photography in 2019, unforeseen challenges caused delays. Now, Ajay Devgn has taken to Instagram to unveil a captivating new poster and announce the trailer’s release date, igniting further excitement for the much-awaited film.
In the fresh poster, Ajay Devgn exudes an aura of patriotism, hinting at the extraordinary story awaiting audiences. The trailer is set to premiere on March 7, 2024, promising a glimpse into the remarkable journey of “a man, a team, a nation, and the unwavering belief that left an indelible mark on the history of Football!”

Reflecting on the hurdles faced during production, Boney Kapoor, in an interview with The New Indian last year, revealed the challenges posed by the pandemic and unpredictable weather, leading to significant delays. The extended lease of filming locations and managing large crowds added to the production woes, further exacerbated by inadequate insurance compensation for the setbacks.
Apart from Ajay Devgn, Priyamani and Gajraj Rao essay crucial roles in the film, amplifying the excitement surrounding its release. The teaser, unveiled last March, intensified anticipation, keeping fans eagerly awaiting updates ever since.
In addition to “Maidaan”, Ajay Devgn is immersing himself in the production of “Singham Again”, the much-anticipated sequel in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. Set to elevate the franchise to new heights, the film introduces fresh faces like Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor, alongside the return of Kareena Kapoor Khan. Ajay Devgn’s upcoming projects include “Shaitaan”, “Auron Mein Kahaan Dam Tha”, “Raid 2”, “Son Of Sardaar 2”, and “Dhamaal 4”.
