Maidaan Advance Booking Sets Strong Foundation for Ajay Devgn’s Film Debut

The anticipation surrounding Ajay Devgn’s latest project, “Maidaan,” directed by Amit Sharma, is palpable among movie buffs. With its release date drawing near, the film has already captured attention and sparked excitement. Even before its official debut, eager fans have begun securing tickets through advance bookings. As of the latest count, “Maidaan” has recorded a remarkable 9942 ticket sales for its opening day. Among these, 9813 tickets are designated for 2D screenings, while 129 tickets have been snapped up for IMAX 2D cinema halls. Scheduled to hit theatres on April 10, “Maidaan” has already amassed staggering ₹ 22.09 crores in advance bookings alone. Alongside Ajay Devgn, the film boasts a stellar cast including Priyamani, Nitanshi Goel, and Gajraj Rao, all contributing pivotal roles to the narrative.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn and his co-star Priyamani are fully engaged in the promotional activities for “Maidaan.” Recently, the duo made an appearance on a Star Sports show during the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Additionally, Ajay shared a post showcasing him playing cricket in a “maidaan” with former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, subtly alluding to his upcoming film. His caption hinted at the film, stating, “At another Maidaan today, but the passion remains the same!”

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.
