During the trailer launch event of “Maidaan,” Ajay Devgn reflected on the challenges the movie presented to him as an actor. He expressed, “After 1983 (referring to India’s win in the Cricket World Cup), football was lost somewhere. I was amazed that this happened in our country. We had Amit Sharma (director), who did extensive research.” Devgn further elaborated, “I would not call it just a sports film. It has got so much drama. As an actor, it was a film with so many layers. It is very strong in its emotional drama, apart from sports. After a long time, I had fun doing a film like this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“Maidaan” has received collective backing from Zee Studios, Bayview Projects, and Fresh Lime Films. The film is set to face stiff competition at the box office with the release of Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.” While “Maidaan” offers a gripping sports drama experience, “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” promises an adrenaline-pumping action thriller.
